It’s precisely Josh Hart’s flaws that make him capable of embodying the Knicks as we think of them, and in his moments of triumph he lets us hope about what they can achieve. He is one of my very favorite Knicks ever. I’m so glad he had that moment.

Jalen: "Is this Kenny?"
Kenny: "Yes it is!"
Jalen: "2016 banner Kenny!" 😂
Brunson had to remind Kenny of Villanova's 2016 Championship after the W in Philly 🤣 pic.twitter.com/XAkpe73k0g

Jalen Brunson has scored at least 37 points in four consecutive playoff games. First player to do that since Michael Jordan in 1993.
