Thirty-three points and 11 assists from Jalen Brunson, yet the Knicks still walked away with a 106–104 defeat against Indiana.
Brunson did his part, but New York couldn't finish the job. A late Indiana turnover gave the Knicks an opportunity, while Karl-Anthony Towns missed the potential tying jumper. Sometimes the difference between winning and losing really is that small.
Toronto comes next on Sunday. The Knicks need someone else to step up when the game gets tight. Brunson can't be expected to rescue them every single night.
Are the Knicks struggling with their finishing, or should Indiana simply get credit for making the plays when it mattered?
