For their first game of the NBA season, the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics at home, after a double overtime (138-134). And the Frenchman Evan Fournier was decisive for his baptism of fire at Madison Square Garden.
Tension, spectacle, shots from the parking lot, and in the end, a victory. For the NBA season premiere, the Madison Square Garden audience experienced a crazy game on Wednesday night, as the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics on the wire (138-134), and especially after a double. prolongation of remarkable intensity.
If Jaylen Brown caught fire with the Celtics (46 pts, 9 reb, 6 pd), Julius Randle answered him well on the side of the Knicks (35 pts, 8 reb, 9 pd). But what interests us above all is the performance of our Frenchman Evan Fournier. Which, for his premiere with the New York jersey, was masterful.
A brilliant Frenchie in the money-time
The tricolor back signed a score with 32 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, with a very nice 6 of 13 at three points. By being decisive, what is more, in the money-time. Applied in the first three quarters, the former Orlando player seriously raised the tone in the fourth and in the double overtime, by chaining the award-winning shots to cool the Celtics. Including the super precious one in the last minute.
Something to seduce from his baptism of fire the demanding New York audience, and necessarily have the banana. “I’m just happy with this first victory at home,” Fournier said, hot. I tried to play my game, I remained aggressive, myself. I loved the energy here, it was incredible.”
