This was a 116-110 victory over Denver that reveals something about the mettle of the Knicks, with just 10 games left before playoff basketball.
A run late in the third quarter, sparked by the Knicks bench, turned around a 12-point deficit and got the Garden rocking and rolling.
From there, Jokic missed a three, Mitchell Robinson threw down a transition feed from Brunson and the building exploded in cheers. Ballgame. And yes, what matters most for the Knicks is yet to come. Still, this was a game worth enjoying, particularly due to Brunson’s seamless return from what he called a bone bruise in his left foot.
By the time he came out of the game with 3:05 to go in the first quarter, Brunson had 16 points and there was zero question left about his health. He got to the rim, he created off the dribble, he moved through his bag of tricks with gusto.
