"Playing the same team twice, not easy to do. To come out, play hard on both sides of the ball, I thought our rebounding was good, defense was good. So just keep going, keep getting better."
"The adjustment paid off. Instead of assigning Mikal Bridges to guard Thomas, Tom Thibodeau switched defensive stopper OG Anunoby onto Brooklyn's star scorer. The result was palpable: Thomas, who had torched the Knicks for 17 first-quarter points and five made threes in Game 1, never found his rhythm."
"Towns dominated in the paint and showcased his versatility, finishing with 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists. His physicality at the rim and ability to create for teammates secured the Knicks’ win."
"Anunoby smothered Thomas from the opening tip, holding him to just 13 points in the first half and 16 for the game on 4-of-11 shooting. The Knicks' defensive strategy suffocated Brooklyn's offense."
