Part 7/9:
While Brunson achieved his 19 points with an efficient shooting performance, others like OG Anunoby and Carl Anthony Towns made significant contributions on both ends. Towns showcased a throwback style of play—powering through defenders, absorbing contact, and making impactful plays in the paint.
The game was also notable for the leadership and resilience of the Knicks' core, who maintained their focus and intensity despite a long stretch of games. The team’s physical and mental freshness appeared evident, likely a reflection of effective coaching strategies to manage player load.
