"Brunson, who missed the previous game with a neck strain, scored just 17 points on 7-for-19 shooting overall, including 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. But he finally awoke in crunch time, dropping two of the night's biggest buckets - a go-ahead layup with 2:20 remaining and a pull-up jumper less than a minute later."

"For the Knicks, who've had problems starting games, it was another discouraging first quarter. They managed a pitiful 14 points in that opening period and trailed by eight, saved only by Brooklyn's ineptitude."
