Knicks need more scoring help from Jalen Brunson’s teammates
NY Post
SAN ANTONIO — The Knicks can have a big scoring problem when Jalen Brunson is not on the court.
It was always expected, though often masked by big nights from Miles McBride or Donte DiVincenzo, given the longstanding absence of Julius Randle.
In Friday night’s 130-126 OT loss to the lottery-bound Spurs, the Knicks were outscored by 24 points in the less than 10 minutes Brunson was on the bench.
That’s the ballgame.
Gregg Popovich knew he had to stop one player.
“I thought we did a good job down the stretch hitting him and double-teaming him and making other people participate,” the Spurs coach said.
