What happened

There isn’t much to see by the time the media is allowed inside Knicks practice.

Why it matters

So after a quick glance at OG Anunoby — a full participant in Friday’s session for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury — the eyes scanned for Mitchell Robinson, whose free throws are really the only ones worth watching.

Common ground

Robinson, who was practicing in the far corner of the facility in Tarrytown, flashed his new foul-shot routine — where he spins the ball in air before the attempt — and buried a solid percentage.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
