Knicks pull off 21-point comeback to avoid embarrassment of loss to shorthanded Warriors
NY Post
The Knicks won, but their coach was fuming.
Facing the minor league version of the Golden State Warriors, the Knicks needed to climb out of a 21-point hole to pull off a 110-107 nail-biter Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
Mike Brown was so disgusted he declined to name a defensive player of the game for the first time after a win. He harped on the start of the game, noting that his team’s struggles from tipoff have become a trend.
“We have to figure out how we don’t have to go into games relying on some amazing comeback because we did not start the game the right way,” Brown said.
The win was sealed with an ugly turnover in the closing seconds by Golden State center Quinten Post, who couldn’t handle a pass on the perimeter and gave it up to Landry Shamet.
Before that, Shamet and OG Anunoby connected on clutch free throws in the final 20 seconds — going 4-for-4.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.

The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
