Tyler Kolek Capitalizes on Rotation Chance With Impressive Playmaking

Knicks guard Tyler Kolek turned the ball over twice in a 98-93 loss to Philadelphia, ending a perfect stretch where he recorded 21 assists without a turnover over 44 minutes. Kolek has taken advantage of extended minutes due to Jose Alvarado's ankle injury, leading the team with a 76.5 percent team assist rate while on the floor. His steady playmaking is helping unlock higher scoring efficiency for starters Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby.
