The Lakers would not allow Jalen Brunson to beat them.
Such a strategy could become a theme if the Knicks’ injury problems continue.
In Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, absences essentially narrowed the Knicks down to Brunson & the bench.
Gone were Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, Quentin Grimes and Mitchell Robinson, and remaining was a skeleton crew against LeBron James and friends.
Surrounding Brunson on the starting and closing group were Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, Precious Achiuwa and Isaiah Hartenstein.
The Lakers, particularly in the fourth quarter, decided to attack the Knicks at their head.

It’s the bottom of the ninth, tying run on second base with two outs. Aaron Judge is at the plate with a 2-2 count. He watches a 99-mph fastball go by him below the knees that looks like ball three, except the home plate umpire rings him up for strike three. Game over.
