Sunday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers was a ludicrous one. It had plenty of ups, a few downs, and ended in a win that embodied the Knicks perfectly. And in more ways than one, it was the perfect game to encapsulate this Knicks team, their coach, and the 23-24 season.
The game, as everyone knows by now, started with Jalen Brunson going down with an injury, which is something the Knicks and their fans have unfortunately gotten accustomed to seeing. While Brunson himself has only missed a handful of games this season, New York has seen Mitchell Robinson, Julius Randle, and OG Anunoby all miss a significant amount of time.
