The Truth Hurts! Jalen Brunson Keeps it Real About Star Teammate’s Recent Performance
The New York Knicks faced the Golden State Warriors in their most recent game at Madison Square Garden, but it was a tough night for the home team.
The Warriors secured a 114-102 victory, outscoring the Knicks with a dominant second-half performance.
Despite the loss, the game featured standout moments, including a strong showing from Jalen Brunson, who led the Knicks with 25 points and 7 assists.
However, the Knicks struggled to contain Stephen Curry, who dazzled with 38 points and 9 assists, leading the Warriors to their 34th win of the season.
Brunson shares praise of star teammate
After the game, Jalen Brunson took a moment to praise his teammate OG Anunoby, who contributed 29 points and 3 rebounds in the loss.
“The way he’s been playing and the way he came out today was special,” Brunson said.
Anunoby’s defensive intensity and ability to make timely plays have been a bright spot for the Knicks, even in challenging matchups like this one.
The Knicks, now holding a 40-21 record, remain one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
However, the loss to the Warriors highlights areas for improvement as they prepare for the playoffs.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau needs better execution on both ends of the floor, particularly against elite teams like Golden State.
With the return of Mitchell Robinson to the team, New York will get a much-needed defensive boost.
As the Knicks look ahead to their next game, they’ll aim to bounce back and build on the chemistry between Brunson and Anunoby.
With Karl-Anthony Towns expected to return soon after missing the game due to personal reasons, the Knicks will have an opportunity to regroup and strengthen their push for a deep playoff run.
Despite the setback, the team remains focused on their ultimate goal of contending for a championship.
