Josh Hart's wife recently poked fun at both her husband and Jalen Brunson by dubbing the duo as "Dumb and Dumber."
New York's biggest weakness is on the defensive side of the ball. The Knicks have struggled to contain strong offenses over the last month. At the top of the list of players who has struggled defensively, though, is captain Jalen Brunson .
The Knicks got a big win against the Bucks, but fans held their breath for a moment during the game win Jalen Brunson had to exit the game.
Somehow, the NBA's Most Valuable Player award has become the center of unnecessary conversation and controversy throughout the past couple of seasons. Much of t
Jalen Brunson, for a change, said something good about Josh Hart following the Knicks' overtime win over the 76ers.
Jalen Brunson wouldn’t reveal much about the shoulder injury that forced him to leave in the third quarter Sunday.
Brunson now boasts 17 games with at least 40 points as a Knick, tying him with Carmelo Anthony for the third most in franchise history. Patrick Ewing, who achieved the feat 30 times, and Bernard King, who did so 23 times, are the only players in Knicks history with more 40-point games.
Josh Hart pirouetted as he swiped the ball from Guerschon Yabusele, then floated the pass to Mikal Bridges for the alley-oop slam, then screamed as Bridges hung on the rim with one hand. That was the exclamation point on a Wednesday night when the “Nova Knicks’” fingerprints were all over a 125-119 overtime victory over the shorthanded 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.
In a completely unexpected turn of events, Tom Thibodeau expanded the Knicks rotation from eight to nine men and played Mikal Bridges for only 27 minutes in Monday’s 119-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
It happened early. Trae Young was being guarded by Mikal Bridges - one of the best defenders on the New York Knicks. During this particular play, Young struggled to find a hole in Bridges' defense resulting in an early shock-clock violation.
Perhaps the New York Knicks are learning to do exactly that. Fresh off the heels of a 3-3 home stretch, New York was able to get back in the win column with a 119-110 victory over the Atlanta Hawks Monday afternoon.
