The Surprising Defensive Shift That Could Propel the Knicks to NBA Glory
NEW YORK — In the first quarter, Jalen Brunson dropped 19 points on 8 field goal conversions. The rest of the game, he would make one more shot.
The bench contributed just 20 points the entire contest, well below their regular season average of 31.6 per game.
Yet, despite the imperfect offense, the New York Knicks toppled the Atlanta Hawks Saturday, April 18 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series, 113-102, in a sign that this team is built to win in different ways; it can explode on offense, or it can grind teams down.
