Part 5/6:
On the defensive end, the Knicks have made significant strides, displaying a clear resemblance to Thibodeau's defensive philosophy. Featuring key players like Bridges and Josh Hart, the team demonstrated strong point-of-attack defense and active hands, leading to critical steals and transition points. This heightened level of defensive intensity is becoming a hallmark of the team as they head deeper into the season, suggesting that Thibodeau’s tactics are beginning to take full effect.
