Heading into their playoff series with the Detroit Pistons, the New York Knicks had a clear gameplan, slow down Cade Cunningham at all costs. Following their victory in Game 1, Jalen Brunson took the time to credit one of his teammates for his work on the All-Star guard.

Greatness isn’t a one-time thing. It’s excelling again, again and then one more time. Brunson has done that in New York, and the safe bet is that he’ll continue to as the Knicks embark on their most pressured-filled postseason during his time.
