Blazers 116, Knicks 113: Too much Payton, not enough Quickley

The Knicks roll into Golden State to start their four-game west coast road trip. Can they contain the red-hot Steph Curry, or will he finally be the one to punish the Knicks from deep?
Could retaining Julius Randle long-term be one of the first big “culture” moves for the Knicks?
Julius Randle’s value has never been higher, as he’s playing the best ball of his career. It’s for that exact reason that the Knicks shouldn’t entertain moving him, and instead build with their resurgent star.
