  1. This is how you know the nba is rigged. Keep hurting giannis. Every year this is why Football ⚽️ better

  2. Well, he won the game for them, 48 minutes, 38 points. Miami stats were really bad, I don't know what happened. But still it was only couple points, if Jimmy could be Jimmy, it's over. But still Heat in 6.

  3. This was a very hard-working test for the Knicks and definitively they've passed it, improving their gameplay a lot, specially with the stellar stuff from Brunson.
    Let's see what happens in the next game between these teams. Nothing has ended yet.

  5. Luka misses him so bad 😁 those production game after another made the knicks this far.

  6. Man, that's the Knicks team we love to see. Great game fellas. Go out there and win a road game now.

  7. It's a crime that Brunson did not get selected into allstar game and all-NBA, he should even get MVP votes. (to be honest, Dame got in is a joke, even Harden deserves more that 3rd team spot)

  8. Brunson is great. He has some of the nicest footwork in the NBA. He should have been an all star this year. What a snub.

  9. Great game JB. IF we surround this man with some knockdown shooters that are also great defenders we can get a chip with him..

  10. Finally got a real star for the knicks he needs a sidekick for the knicks to push to the next level like a really good shooter

  11. If they stick to starting Grime they wouldn’t have drop 3-2…
    But it is what it is let’s gooooo

  12. Again Miami is playing constantly with setting illegal screens. Moving into players as they come through and sticking their legs out to try to trip players. CONSTANTLY. Here is a good one see 3:27 in the first quarter with the #1 culprit of setting illegal screens throughout the game – Miami's Center who has also caused all of the Knicks injuries in this game. This is not tough defense.

  13. Jalen Brunson is a competitor. He has the heart of a champion. He has consistently brought it every single night. It has been great to see him shine.
