Shamet dropped 13 points on 3-of-5 from beyond the arc while providing his usual pesky defense. <\/p>\n
The Knicks outscored the Grizzlies by 13 points with Shamet on the court.<\/p>\n
Coach Mike Brown was excited for the comeback of one of his favorite players.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s arguably one of our, if not the best, on-ball defenders,\u201d said Brown, whose team went 2-3 without Shamet. \u201cEspecially when it comes to ball screens and dribble handoffs. He\u2019s really physical in that area. And you feel him. His pace offensively creates gravity for others. And then his ability to shoot. He can string together two or three 3s. And it can create separation for him and give our group confidence. We had to find other ways. But we missed that from him, especially from his size.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shamet, too, was satisfied. But he felt the fatigue that usually accompanies a return.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was definitely a little tired at the end of the game,\u201d he said. \u201cThe legs \u2014 that\u2019s obviously the biggest thing. You can do all you want to stay in shape but playing a real NBA basketball game, that\u2019s like the next layer of your rehab or whatever. You just got to get reps and get your legs back under you. So I felt really good. Just naturally a little heavy at the end. But that\u2019s alright.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mikal Bridges played in his 633rd consecutive game Wednesday, eclipsing Andre Miller for the eighth-longest streak in NBA history.<\/p>\n
Everybody ahead of Bridges completed their streak in the 1980s or before. <\/p>\n
Next up at No. 7 is Harry Gallatin at 682 straight games before he retired in 1958.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, I have kids one day and I\u2019ll brag about it,\u201d Bridges said.<\/p>\n
Miles McBride took a night off for load management on a back-to-back, one day after he shot 1-for-9 in a loss to the Rockets.<\/p>\n
McBride is easing back from sports hernia surgery, and he has struggled in his two comeback appearances while shooting 1 for 12 combined.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThank you\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Brown said he\u2019s good with the attempts<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re open, let it fly,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI even told him this before, I don\u2019t care if he\u2019s 0-for-15. I just want him to feel the aggression, get to his spots.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown noted that McBride had a 3-point attempt blocked in the Rockets game, an indication he didn\u2019t have his legs under him yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen anybody block Deuce\u2019s shot \u2014 his 3-point shot. Because he gets so high, he gets lift,\u201d Brown said. \u201cThat\u2019s just him not playing. So I want guys like that, if you\u2019re open, let it fly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MEMPHIS, Tenn. \u2014 Landry Shamet reminded the Knicks what they were missing when he was out.
