NEW YORK -- On Wednesday, just before the clock struck midnight, New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson sat down at the podium to take questions on yet another improbable comeback.
But this time, the mentally tough New York club -- which staged a trio of unthinkable victories after trailing by double digits in its series with the Boston Celtics -- found itself on the wrong end of the spectacle.
With just under three minutes to play, and with the roar of their Madison Square Garden crowd behind them, the Knicks led the Indiana Pacers by 14 points.
