The New York Knicks experienced radically different emotions in a single game that went from shock to relief. The good news is their victory at the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers (98-107), third ranked in the East and their direct rival in the Playoffs (39-21 Cavs to 36-25 Knicks). The bad things happened much earlier, when Jalen Brunson left the field with apparent signs of pain in one knee. An ugly movement and feel injury for the Knicks superstar. And again the positive ones, Well it seems not to be that serious after the first scan.
Brunson, on the ground.
Brunson He was barely able to step onto the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse court for 40 seconds. He wanted to go out towards the middle distance to launch one of his most effective shots and before the shooting movement he damaged his knee. The images did not seem positive at first, although after the game… Tom Thibodeau, Knicks coach, calmed his team down. Something hopeful since Brunson is experiencing a brutal season: 27.2 points on average (47.7% TC) and leader of the Big Apple.
It’s a bad bruise on the knee.

“It’s a bad bruise on the knee. They did X-ray tests and he was examined by the doctor. everything is negative. We will see how he is tomorrow,” explained the Knicks coach. Bullet… dodged first. His star is still standing and his team shows character and heart. “We have a series of players capable of going out to play and taking one more step after every problem,” he said. The Knicks did it and beat Cleveland in a game that was seen last year in the Playoffs and continues to excite the parish of New York. You can believe.
Without Brunson, Josh Hart took over, in a season that exalted him on both sides. He had a great triple-double, with 13 points, 19 rebounds! and 10 assists. He was joined, thanks to 28 points (6 triples), by Donte DiVincenzo. And it was not noticed that in addition to Brunson, Mitchell Robinson, OG Anunoby and Julius Randle were missing. That is, four key pieces, starters and the true ceiling that the Knicks can reach if all their players are present at the moment of truth.
If you give talented players a chance… they bite you in the ass

Hart abraza a Hartenstein.
Although in Cleveland they blame it on disconnection after the departure of the star point guard from New York. “We let our guard down. We prepared the game in a way and Without Brunson we thought it would be easier. They raised the intensity. If you give the NBA and its talented players a chance… They bite you in the ass,” said Cavs coach JB Bickerstaff. Perks of the job.
