RJ Barrett · RJ Barrett took a brief break from carving up the Los Angeles Lakers with his scoring to share the highlight-reel spotlight with his teammate. Following a New York Knicks steal, Barrett pushed the tempo across halfcourt and spotted Obi Toppin behind the defense before lobbing an alley-oop that the 2022 Slam Dunk Contest champion hammered home with a reverse jam. The fourth-quarter assist was part of a huge second half for Barrett, who scored 20 of his 30 points after halftime while also mixing in five rebounds and two assists in the 112-108 victory on March 12, 2023. The fourth-year guard helped lead the Knicks to 47 wins in 2022-23, the team’s highest total in a decade. · State of Mint
