New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau gives his thoughts on Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes and what he has done on the floor.

The Knicks—without Jalen Brunson or Karl-Anthony Towns—defeated the Sixers, 105-91, led by OG Anunoby's 27 points, five rebounds and two steals. Landry Shamet added 20 points off the bench, shooting 6-of-11 from three.

Only one of the 10 players who suited up during that series (veteran guard Kyle Lowry) played, with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. and headline offseason acquisition Paul George sidelined by injuries for a team that already is eliminated from the playoff race.

The program's emphasis on defensive tenacity prepared him for Thibodeau, and in turn, the Knicks HC has made it easier for Grimes to transition to other NBA squads.
