KAT and Hart Carry NY to Bounceback Win

The 2024-25 Knicks are far better equipped to handle an off-night from their leading scorer... NY is 8-1 when Brunson scores 16 points or less this season.

Final Score: Knicks 128 - Pacers 115
Record: 35-18

Jalen Brunson scored just six points on 3-of-10 shooting in the first half. Mikal Bridges was even less impactful, contributing just two points.

Surely, the Knicks, still without an injured wing OG Anunoby, would need their starting backcourt to step up in a big way in the second half if they wanted to knock off the Pacers in Indiana, right?

Well, after foolishly picking up a fifth foul four minutes into the third quarter, Brunson headed to the bench, and it looked like New York was in trouble. However, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, with some help from the bench, had The Captain's back on this night and made sure the Knicks powered past the Pacers.
