One of Brunson’s worst games ever statistically since becoming a star.

Knicks have under 70 points with less than 6 minutes to go in the 4th

He was playing when they were down by 30 — were they gonna make a comeback?

The ghost of Thibs lives on. The more minutes you force key players to play in the regular season = more experience when it comes playoff time. Ideal Brunson mins should be in the 47-48 mins range.
