Part 2/8:
Despite being without their star point guard, the Knicks have shown remarkable resilience. Ron Hunter, founder and host of the "Still Knicks Fans" podcast, noted that the absence of Brunson might have acted as a blessing in disguise. By stepping back, Brunson allowed his teammates to develop their confidence and learn to work together more effectively. Players like O.J. Anunoby and Macaulay Bridges took this opportunity to showcase their skills and be more aggressive on offense, proving that they could shoulder some of the scoring responsibilities.
