The Knicks didn’t play their best game
Brunson got hurt twice
They fell behind by 14, and still won by 10
That’s the part that should concern the Spurs

To struggle for three quarters and still demand the ball when the game is on the line takes a different level of confidence.
Most players can't do that, only the great ones can.
if jalen brunson pulls this off it’s gonna be like a dirk nowitzki level championship where the one championship is actually worth like three championships
@erecasner What impressed you most about his Game 1 performance? The 4th quarter shot making, the toughness to come back from the injury, or the mental resilience to stay locked in after struggling for three quarters?
@KornblumKorner@FilayTeamJ Same here, the trade worked out perfectly for us. hopefully we can finish the job and bring the Larry O'brien back to New York. Last night's game was crazy. The vibes around the Garden was beautiful to take in. If we take game 2 tomorrow night a sweep is very possible.
@KornblumKorner@FilayTeamJ I appreciate Randle for his contributions but when the rumors where swirling around that we might get Towns I immediately knew he would unlock Brunson even more. The fit has been perfect. I’m just sad we got rid of Donte. I’m hoping we could bring him back next year 🙏🏽
The Knicks didn’t play their best
They fell behind by 14
They had to win ugly
And they still walked out of San Antonio with Game 1
Not perfect, just one win closer to a championship.
