Knicks have to have better late game offense than Jalen Brunson, and everybody else get out the way.
It could—COULD win this series. It ain’t doing anything beyond it – 10:16 PM

Ausar Thompson before the game: “He’s good at drawing fouls. Well, he’s good at selling — selling — fouls. So, you just got to be smarter.”
Jalen Brunson just got Ausar to foul out of the game and held up six fingers as soon as he did it. pic.x.com/TkGDT5ZLVi – 9:53 PM

I’m sorry, running too close behind Jalen Brunson when he randomly decides to stop for no basketball reason should just be a play on, not a foul – 9:07 PM

All the while, Towns remained a nonparticipant. “It’s very tough when there’s definitely one ball,” Brunson said. “We have a lot of great players on this team and definitely it’s on my shoulders. … It’s on me to make sure I set the table. So I’ll go back, and I’ll figure out what I need to do.” -via New York Times / April 23, 2025
“It’s on me to make sure I set the table,” Brunson said after his 37-point, 7-assist, 3-rebound night. “So I’ll go back and I’ll figure out what I need to do. We’ll have conversations, and we’ll come back better for Game 3.” -via Newark Star-Ledger / April 22, 2025
