Briefly

The Knicks threw the first punch, and then every other punch after that to secure a dominant 30-point victory and take a commanding 3-2 lead in the series putting themselves on the brink of their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
With the series tied 2-2, New York did what they have done all year. The Knicks threw the first punch, and then every other punch after that to secure a dominant 30-point victory and take a commanding 3-2 lead in the series putting themselves on the brink of their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
I think the togetherness and tenacity are similar, said Thibodeau. The commitment to each other, that's similar. I think the toughness aspect of it is similar.
This current Knicks team has put themselves on the precipice of something many people thought was inconceivable at the start of the season. Add on top of those injuries and heavy rotation minutes this Knicks team has been forced to endure, it is remarkable they are even here.
I think as a team we have the same mindset no matter what, said Brunson. We know what's at stake, we know what we have to do and we're gonna figure it out. Brunson had perhaps the most pressure on his shoulders to respond.
