Kevin Knox is quickly making a memorable first impression with his new team, the Golden State Warriors. In his third game with the Warriors, the former lottery pick added to his highlight-reel with a must-see lob dunk. With the Warriors on the way to another blowout win, Knox entered the game and quickly made an impact on the court. The former Kentucky Wildcat was able to extend and slam the ball for a must-see lob dunk, which was assisted by Gui Santos on a fast break down the court.

Knox didn't stop with just the dunk, tallying 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field with two made 3-pointers to go along with five rebounds and four assists in only 15 minutes off the bench. He was one of seven members of the Warriors to score 10 or more points in Golden State's dominant 128-92 win over the Hornets on Tuesday night. The Warriors' win was a testament to their teamwork and chemistry on the court.

The game's score can be broken down as follows:

  • Warriors: 128 points
  • Hornets: 92 points
Knox's performance has left many people on social media impressed, with some calling for him to be given more minutes in the playoffs. The Warriors are currently 31-27 in 58 games, which has them as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.

Knox was the ninth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft and has also spent time with the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Portland Trail Blazers over part of seven seasons. His experience and skills on the court make him a valuable asset to the Warriors. The team's schedule for the remainder of the season will be crucial in determining their playoff chances, with upcoming games against tough opponents.

The Warriors' tournament schedule is as follows:

  1. Game 1: vs. Los Angeles Lakers
  2. Game 2: vs. Boston Celtics
  3. Game 3: vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Knox's performance will be closely watched as the Warriors continue their push for a playoff spot. With his impressive skills and experience, he could be a key player in the team's success.

Quotes

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. - By Nat King Cole

The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it's the small things that count. - By Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

Jesus Christ lived in the midst of his enemies. At the end all his disciples deserted him. On the Cross he was utterly alone, surrounded by evildoers and mockers. For this cause he had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God. So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes. There is his commission, his work. 'The kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but the devout people. O you blasphemers and betrayers of Christ! If Christ had done what you are doing who would ever have been spared' (Luther). - By Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community

Life was a swarm of accidents waiting in the treetops, descending upon any living thing that passed, ready to eat them alive. You swam in a river of chance and coincidence. You clung to the happiest accidents- the rest you let float by. - By David Wroblewski, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. - By Woody Allen, Annie Hall: Screenplay

Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so?There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar. - By Drew Carey
