Knicks refuse to ‘doubt’ core’s ability to make next NBA Finals leap
NY Post
INDIANAPOLIS — Jalen Brunson made his sentiment crystal clear.
After falling in the Eastern Conference finals, how confident is he that this core has enough to take the next step into the NBA Finals and win a championship?
“The most confidence,” Brunson said after the Knicks’ 125-108 Game 6, season-ending loss to the Pacers on Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. “Overconfident. Seriously, there’s not an ounce of any type of doubt that I’m not confident with this group.”
The Knicks made three major moves last offseason to build a championship contender.
They sent Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to the Timberwolves to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns.
They parted with five first-round picks to acquire Mikal Bridges from the Nets.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
