Career Night From Tyler Kolek Offers Knicks Brief Highlight in Road Defeat
Slug: career-night-tyler-kolek-knicks-road-loss
Rookie guard Tyler Kolek delivered the strongest outing of his young NBA career on Tuesday, giving the New York Knicks a rare bright spot during a road loss.
The first-year player set personal bests across the board, but his effort could not change the game’s outcome as the Knicks left the arena still searching for a way to translate individual success into wins away from Madison Square Garden.
Kolek’s performance stood out in an otherwise frustrating night for head coach Tom Thibodeau’s squad, which continues to battle inconsistency outside New York. Despite the defeat, teammates and coaches pointed to the guard’s growth as an encouraging sign for a club eager to build depth in its backcourt.
The Knicks return home later this week looking to snap their skid and capitalize on the momentum generated by Kolek’s breakthrough showing.
