Knicks Rookie Mohamed Diawara Unleashes 13 Threes in Spurs Rout, Reclaiming Rotation Edge Over Sochan

Coach Mike Brown is keeping the playoff rotation open as he evaluates frontcourt combinations.

Overview

  • New York beat San Antonio 114-89 at Madison Square Garden to close out Sunday’s national TV matchup.
  • Mohamed Diawara logged 14 points in roughly 15 minutes, shooting 5-for-14 with 13 of his 14 attempts from three.
  • His volume was an outlier off the bench and was reported as the most three-point attempts per minute in a game with at least 10 minutes played.
  • Jeremy Sochan saw only garbage-time action as Diawara again checked in ahead of him, reinforcing a shift in the backup‑forward pecking order.
  • Mike Brown praised Diawara’s fearlessness and said roster spots remain fluid ahead of the postseason, while teammates urged the rookie to keep shooting.
