Jalen Brunson and Dylan Harper were standouts in game 1 of Knicks Vs Spurs.
The two are great below the rim players and we saw how both of them used similar moves related to change of directions and contact initiation to get to their spots.
Harper got to the rim at will and finish inside and Brunson was able to carve out space with fakes and keep defenders at bay with his constant change of direction as well as his unpredictable handle

Dylan Harper also showcases great potential as a defender, excels at keeping the ball in front and fighting through screens. Does a great job here against Anthony Edwards, recovering off the screen and then staying disciplined when moving with Ant.
Dylan Harper may be the Spurs potential X-factor in the Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals. He has a unique superpower with his finishing at the rim and his counter moves that shows potential of an elite below the rim finisher.

Dyson Daniels hounded Jalen Brunson in game 3. Constant pressure in the back court, preventing drives to the rim, and mirroring Brunson on his moves.
Dyson's defense completely slowed down Brunson and forced him to rely on tough shots.

The hit-and-run driver, Javid Vythilingum, 20, upon his arrest on Sunday told police he fled the scene because he “got nervous” and that, instead of calling 911, he went to Popeye’s after the crash, according to the criminal complaint against him.
A Queens man and his two dogs were struck by a hit-and-run driver last month.
Francisco Disla's 6-year-old Yorkie named Benji died in the crash. Disla and his 1-year-old Pomeranian named Max barely survived.
Disla, 59, while currently battling prostate cancer, is now dealing with injuries to his head and body following the crash.
“Benji was so close to me,” said Disla. “I felt he knew I had something. When I was diagnosed with cancer, Benji would always be next to me. I bought the dog for my wife, but he became close to me. I took him out. I fed him.”

Every Tuesday night for 15 years now, lovers of Haitian culture gather under strobe lights at a Lower East Side rooftop lounge in Manhattan to dance to kompa music from a variety of DJs. But there is a lot more than dancing going on.
The event, called Kompa Tuesdays at The DL on Delancey St., also serves a a hub for people to network while chowing down on Haitian specialties like a fritay platter or a griot sandwich of fried pork wedged between fried plantains.
“I just wanted Haitians and non-Haitians, just kompa lovers, anyone who is curious about the culture, to have a place to get a feel and taste,” said Fred Lherisson, who also goes by the name Freddy Boom Boom, a sales executive who founded Kompa Tuesdays 15 years ago.
