Part 3/8:
Another critical factor in the Knicks' successful outing was point guard Jaylen Brunson. He once again demonstrated his uncanny ability to perform under pressure, scoring 31 points, with a clutch 16 in the fourth quarter and overtime. His statistics in the clutch—over 60% shooting in the final moments of tight games—speak volumes about his role as a leader on the floor. Observers commented on his philosophy of not always seeking to score but instead making the right play when it mattered most. This “whatever the game gives me” mentality has proven invaluable for the Knicks, contributing significantly to their impressive record in close games this season.
