The Knicks went all-in this past offseason by adding Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Brunson, Towns, Bridges, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart are all under contract for at least next season, so the team should look very similar moving forward.

The Knicks were outscored 32-17 in that third quarter when Brunson picked up the five fouls. Brunson had just two points in the quarter. With the Knicks trailing 91-76, coach Tom Thibodeau put Brunson back in the game to start the fourth quarter. He only made it to the 7:19 mark before committing his sixth foul and fouling out.

Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks had the chance to put away the rival Boston Celtics and move on to the Eastern Conference Finals, but fell short in a physical contest that ended with Brunson on the bench.
