What happened: The Knicks pushed their postseason run forward with a balanced formula: Brunson organizing the half court, Towns punishing size mismatches, and the wing group turning defensive stops into clean looks.
Why it matters: New York does not need every possession to be perfect when its best lineups can defend, rebound, and reset quickly. That gives the Game Center a clear read on momentum beyond the score.
"The Knicks are at their best when the first action creates a decision and the second action creates the shot."
What to watch next: Track Anunoby's availability, McBride's minutes, and how often Bridges and Hart can keep the floor spaced while still taking the toughest defensive assignments.
