NBA: Ricky Rubio shines at Madison and Ayton follows in the footsteps Stoudemire | NBA 2019

The base, with 25 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds, commands the win against Knicks who do not lift their heads (98-121).

On Tuesday he had lost a game in Atlanta for personal reasons, but the inspiration came back soon for Ricky Rubio, decisive in the overwhelming triumph of the Suns at Madison Square Garden (98-121). The base, author of 25 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds of the Spanish base, even wills with Devin Booker (29 points) and Deandre Ayton (26 points, 21 rebounds) for the sixth victory in 10 games of his team.

A measured pass from near his basket towards Ayton's career, prepared for the inevitable mate, illustrated the great reading of Rubio's game and the good collective basketball of the Suns, with the negligible figure of 31 assists in his overall.

Ayton only err four of his pitches at stake for a double-double with some symbolic. And since Amare Stoudemire, in February 2008, no Phoenix player reached more than 25 points and 20 rebounds in a match.

The Abyss of the Knicks

A good omen for the number one of the 'draft' in 2018, injured in the ankle until December 17. During the first two months of competition, he had also had to serve 25 penalty matches for the consumption of a diurtico.

The horizon is much darker for the Knicks, with its seventh defeat in eight games. The 26 points of Julius Randle were useless, nor the return, after some pain in the neck, of Marcus Morris (17 points). “We gave advantages to a good team and allowed them to do what they wanted,” analyzed his technician, Mike Miller.

As if that were not enough, in the third quarter, the suffered fans of Madison saw injured RJ Barrett, a sprained ankle. “It had never hurt me like that. I also don't remember the last time I missed a game”; commented the rookie base, who could not return in the last quarter, where visitors came to dominate by 29 points.
