Part 2/6:
At the center of the Knicks' success was star guard Jalen Brunson. Even as the Nuggets closed in, trailing by just four points late in the fourth quarter, Brunson's performance was stellar. He finished the game with an impressive 30 points and facilitated playmaking with six assists in the crucial fourth quarter. Remarkably, he was not merely reliant on points but demonstrated exceptional court vision by drawing defenders and creating easy scoring opportunities for his teammates. His ability to step up and deliver in tightly contested moments cannot be overlooked, as he played a pivotal role in securing the win.
