The New York Knicks could have come out on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers and laid an absolute egg. They could have scored 78 total points. They could have sent out their G-League squad just one day after winning the NBA Cup Championship. New York fans likely would have understood that their team was simply completely exhausted. The Knicks, however, powered through and squeaked out a one-point win without several key rotation players. Jalen Brunson's heroics and the team's effort are what head coach Mike Brown said makes this group different.
