The Knicks missed Brunson in a loss to Atlanta on Tuesday, then barely missed at all in the early going with him back.
NEW YORK — With three losses already to the Orlando Magic this season and a playoff meeting potentially ahead, perhaps the New York Knicks were trying to send a statement Friday night.'You could feel the intensity from the tip from them,' Orlando's Paolo Banchero said.And the Knicks didn't stop until they had turned in the most dominant defensive effort in the NBA this season.
They were missing starting guard Jalen Suggs because of a bruised right thigh.Orlando had won all three previous meetings, but never had a chance in its attempt for the season sweep. The Knicks needed barely four minutes to take a double-digit lead and were up 18-6 midway through the first quarter on Brunson's 3-pointer. They were ahead 31-23 at the end of the period after going 6 for 7 behind the arc.
