To the public eye, McBride hasn’t always been a good 3-point shooter. In very limited minutes during his first two seasons, McBride never shot better than 30 percent behind the arc. However, behind the scenes, head coach Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks coaching staff felt very confident that McBride would show more than he had with more opportunity.

The Knicks needed every bit of what Miles McBride produced on Friday night. New York beat the Memphis Grizzlies 114-113 on the road thanks in part to McBride scoring 17 points.
