Last week was a grind for the New York Knicks. Over that short span, our heroes played one home page (Toronto Raptors) and three on the road (Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers). New York split the week with a 2-2 record. Noted in the surprise column: they lost to the slipping Jazz, but won to the offensively-juggernautish Suns. As for the other games, Toronto is a middling team and the Clippers are chewing up the league of late, so neither of those outcomes came as a shock.
During that span, New York’s starting point guard Jalen Brunson averaged 29 points, 5.
