""I think losing four in a row better get everyone on the same page," Towns told reporters during an interview. "I'm glad tonight that everyone looked like they saw what was going on, what we needed to stop the bleeding... consistency is what's going to make us great, and it's going to make this season a successful season. So we just got to build on that.""
""Guys, we gotta stop looking to the coaching staff for answers, we gotta stop looking elsewhere," Brunson told teammates, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. "The answers to what is wrong with us right now are right in this locker room. We gotta look in the mirror.""

The New York Knicks crushed the Brooklyn Nets 120-66, ending a rough stretch and showcasing renewed urgency. The team emphasized accountability and consistency following multiple losses. Karl-Anthony Towns stressed that a four-game losing streak should align the roster and that consistency will determine season success. Jalen Brunson organized a players-only meeting after a 114-97 home loss to the Mavericks, urging teammates to find answers within the locker room. The Knicks had lost nine of eleven games and slipped to the No. 3 seed in the East, and the team now looks to build momentum into a winning run.
