"We feel like we can still be better. I've said this all along, that's what the season is about. You're not going to have it all in one week or two months. You got to go through your lumps. Because when you go through your lumps, if you truly have a chance at the end of the day, you're going to grow from your lumps."
"That's what this group is doing - because we're going to take a couple lumps still. But this team, it's deep, it's really good. These guys are connected. They're all sacrificing. The competitive spirit is there. They believe in each other. Our bench is up all game. We got delays of games because our bench was up for each other."
The Knicks delivered a dominant performance against the Denver Nuggets, winning 142-103 in one of the worst home losses in Nuggets franchise history. OG Anunoby led with 34 points while Jalen Brunson contributed 15 assists despite scoring only nine points. The Knicks controlled both ends of the floor in Denver's high altitude. While the Nuggets faced challenges including a back-to-back schedule, Aaron Gordon's return from injury, and Jamal Murray's ankle sprain, the Knicks' execution was exceptional. Coach Mike Brown emphasized the team's depth, connection, and competitive spirit, noting that growth comes through adversity and that the group remains focused on continuous improvement throughout the season.
