New ESPN story: The Knicks have gone as far as Jalen Brunson could carry them all season. But when he had a rare off night in Game 1, his teammates were there to pick up the slack.
“When he struggled,” Josh Hart said, “that’s when we had to pick it up.”

The Knicks scratched and clawed for 23 off. rebs on a night they shot below 40% from the floor.
Josh Hart hit 3 threes in the 4th quarter, equaling his season-high for 3s made in a whole game.
The Sixers lost Game 1 by 7.

Nick Nurse credited the Knicks for stepping up and hitting open threes late in the game, but said he could live with those shots — pretty clearly referring to Josh Hart getting those shots. – 9:13 PM

That starts in training camp, as it did this season, with a physical playbook that Miles McBride estimated to be 5 inches thick. “Initially [when I got it] I was like, ‘What the hell?’ ” Donte DiVincenzo said. “Because it was the first time in my career I’ve gotten something like that. And then, the way my brain works is like, ‘Why is he doing this?’ And then the thing I learned about him is everything in that book — you might not know where it’s at, but he knows where it’s at. And you know that because midway through the year, he’ll throw something out there.” Verbal quizzes can be sprung on players, which had Josh Hart concerned Wednesday. There’s also new playoff playbooks/videos arriving shortly. “I’d probably fail a pop quiz,” Hart said. “I might go home and study a little bit today. He’s giving us the keys to the test tomorrow so we’ll see.” -via New York Post / April 18, 2024
