The New York Knicks faced a setback against the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing 124-105 despite holding a significant lead earlier in the game. Coach Thibodeau expressed concerns about the team's performance against top-tier opponents and highlighted the importance of understanding various game factors, including player injuries and rest advantages. He stressed the importance of learning from losses as a means to improve, noting that the absence of key players indicates growth opportunities for others on the team. Updates on player injuries, particularly Mitchell Robinson and Jalen Brunson, were shared, with Thibodeau optimistic about their return soon.
On struggling against elite teams: "Obviously the good teams, they're going to have records like that against other teams... We’re capable of beating anyone. We're capable of losing to anyone, too."
On learning from losses to top teams: "Every game is revealing to you, telling you things that you need to work on. You strive to get better each and every day. We're seeing it now with Jalen being out."
