After falling into a two-game hole, the Knicks came back to secure their first win in Game 3, 106-100, showcasing their resilience.

Despite a solid victory in Game 5, the Knicks struggled in the second half of Game 6, ultimately ending their season with a 125-108 defeat. Team captain Jalen Brunson reflected on the ups and downs, stating, “There were stretches where we played very good defense and stretches where we didn’t. Once we dig into it… Probably both.”

Brunson remains confident in his teammates, adding, “There’s not an ounce of any type of doubt that I’m not confident with this group. We have a lot of guys that just genuinely want to work hard to be better.”

This season, the Knicks welcomed new players Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, with Towns arriving in New York after a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Bridges joining through a deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Looking ahead, Brunson believes in their potential to improve as a team.
