GREENBURGH, N.Y. � Lost among the game-ending drama in the Knicks' 103-102 loss to the Charlotte Hornets Saturday night was a remarkable sequence midway through the fourth quarter that says everything about the kind of player Mitchell Robinson is becoming.
Robinson, who missed time earlier this season with a sprained right ankle, fell to the floor after stepping on Nicolas Batum's foot while playing defense. The Knicks got the ball back and headed down to the other end of the court. When no one called a timeout, Robinson picked himself up and started hobbling almost like a zombie after his teammates.
"I'm limping down the court," he recalled after practice Sunday. "Nobody called timeout. So I did what I needed to do, set the pick-and-roll."
