Knicks’ Game 3 report card: Persevered despite Jalen Brunson’s poor night
NY Post
Knicks’ grades from their 106-100 Game 3 win over the Pacers on Sunday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse:
Dealt with foul trouble (again) and rampant poor decisions. He made one clutch shot in the fourth and airballed another. Finished 6-for-18 from the field but 10-for-10 from the line. Knocked down a pair of big free throws with seconds left. But overall, the Knicks won despite their captain.
Strapped on his cape in the fourth quarter and single-handedly saved the Knicks season with 20 of his 24 points in that final period. If KAT hadn’t secured his Knicks moment yet, Sunday night was it.
Active performance while finishing including a big block in the fourth quarter. Scored efficiently with 16 points on just nine shots in 37 minutes.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being paid handsomely for his breakout season.
Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
