- “The Warriors recalled Ognjen Kuzmic, only to list him as “out” with a right shoulder contusion.” — Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle
- “New York (13-51) topped the Los Angeles Lakers 101-94 on Thursday for its first victory in six tries. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored a game-high 22 in his return to the lineup after missing two contests with a back ailment.
.
“(The time off) helped my legs out a lot and strengthened my body a little bit more,” Hardaway said. “It got me ready for this game I think. I did a good job of moving on the defensive end and offensive end and just helping the guys out.”
.
Alexey Shved also served as a key contributor with 14 points and 11 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double.
.
Hardaway has thrived against Golden State. His 15.7 scoring average against the Warriors is his third-highest against any opponent in his career and he’s 9 for 19 from behind the arc in three meetings.
.
The Knicks won their last trip to Golden State 89-84 on March 30, but Hardaway is the only one of nine players to see action in that game for New York that will play Saturday.” — Jack Cassidy, AP/STATS
