Knicks face an uphill battle against defending champion Celtics, against whom they went 0-4 against. Thursday night’s game six win over the Pistons was an instant classic. It literally had everything from a hot start to a collapse many fans saw coming, to a surprisingly good third quarter, to another collapse, to a series-clinching three from none other than Jalen Brunson, who saw and...

Frozen in Time There’s a reason Jalen Brunson walked away with the 2024–25 Clutch Player of the Year. The man has ice in his veins, and somehow, that ice gets even a degree or two colder in crunch time. When the Knicks need a bucket, need a bailout, need a hero? Brunson doesn’t blink. He delivers. Always. Game Six had all the smoke, just like every chapter in this first-round thriller...

The Knicks closed out Detroit in an eerily similar way to how they closed out Philadelphia last season. Last night, thankfully, mercifully, the Knicks pulled out the series win against the Pistons, surviving a back-and-forth Game 6 in a series that neither team ever held a 20-point lead. For reference, the other seven playoff series had a game end with a 20-point margin (except...

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images What a player. What a game. What a series. I grew up listening to music albums. Full albums. At some point that slipped into solo tracks, usually chosen by some randomizing algorithm. After many years of that subtle sickness, I’ve since returned to full-length albums, and feel like someone who switched from poison to medicine. NBA fans have more access to...

The Knicks lose two double-digit leads and fall behind by seven in crunch time before Jalen carries them to victory again. For the third straight year, the New York Knicks will reach the second round of the playoffs, thanks to tonight’s 116-113 win over the Detroit Pistons at the Little Caesar’s Arena. The game wasn’t pretty, but neither were the previous five in this bruising series. ...

Shara Talia Taylor reports from MSG as New York looks to regroup after letting a closeout opportunity slip. The New York Knicks find themselves back in Michigan tonight for a must-win Game Six against the Detroit Pistons . Despite a commanding 3–1 lead in the series, New York missed its shot to advance after a sluggish showing in Game Five — slow starts, missed chances, and late-game...

The New York Knicks head to Detroit tonight up 3-2, aiming to close out the Pistons and move on to round two of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Good news: the Knicks are healthy. Jalen Brunson tweaked an ankle in Game Five and Josh Hart left late with soreness, but both are ready to play tonight. For Detroit,...

Hint: It’s not the timeout fiasco The loss on Tuesday stung. It was an opportunity to wrap up a series against a feisty opponent at home and give yourselves ample rest ahead of a second-round matchup with the reigning champions. It would have also been the first series-clincher at home since 1999. For many reasons, they lost the game. They started extremely slow on offense, Jalen Brunson...

He also led the NBA...
