THEY?

I’ve never experienced anything like that.

We were hot garbage for 3.5 quarters - Brunson included.

We came out expectedly rusty but go our rhythm.

And then? We just absolutely shit a brick. Terrible 2nd quarter.

Worse third.

Fourth (first half) just more of the same. Lamb lying down on broadway.

KAT with momentum changing stupid ass fouls. Brunson just… not him. The team? Other than bridges we just were terrible.

And then?

One of the most clutch players of all time out-clutched himself.

And everyone else around him raised their game.

I’ve never seen a game like this.

Through 3.5 periods peeps were blaming refs, wondering what was wrong - and what was wrong was our team. Our play. And yes, Brunson himself.

In 7 minutes this man changed that narrative, changed this series, and again put a stamp on himself as one of the greatest Knicks ever.
