Mikal Bridges’ epiphany came from a bit of personal reflection. After the Knicks defeated the Raptors last week in Toronto, when Bridges scored 30 points, his response on the MSG Network broadcast about how honest he was was going viral. Bridges admitted he “felt too entitled” and “wasn’t coachable.” That realization wasn’t prompted by the […]
Photo: YouTube Deandre Ayton spoke after the Los Angeles Lakers lost 112-100 to the New York Knicks on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. “Honestly when they came out in the second half, they made shots. And you know that was a big difference. You know it brought them momentum from good possession and good defensive […]
Luka Dončić had a parting gift for Jalen Brunson before the pair of former Mavericks teammates left the Garden Court on Sunday night. As the Knicks and Lakers players hugged after the Knicks’ 112-100 win, Dončić raised his middle finger after the star point guard completed another postgame exchange and walked over. Dončić appeared to […]
The Lakers had one of the frontrunners for MVP and perhaps the best to ever grace the court. But the Knicks had much more depth than their own two All-Stars. Advantage: depth. Games like this are what the Knicks envisioned when building the supporting cast around Jalen Brunson. Six players scored in double figures as […]
The competition made a move this weekend, with the Cavaliers dealing DeAndre Hunter and two second-round picks to the Kings for a pair of guards: Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder. This was a cost-saving trade for the Cavs, who have been a disappointment this season and are deep in the luxury tax. It wasn’t a […]
Despite the decline across the board, Karl-Anthony Towns is still an All-Star. He was named an All-Star reserve on Sunday, joining Jalen Brunson, a starter, as the two Knicks representatives. Towns entered Sunday averaging 20 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists – all down from last season. His efficiency has also dropped; he entered Sunday […]
Exactly one year ago, the Lakers were in the same spot as on Sunday, when the Knicks host them again in Madison Square Garden. They defeated the Knicks last year on February 1, 128-112, a normal regular-season game. But just hours after that game, the Lakers made one of the most shocking trades in NBA […]
Karl-Anthony Towns’ score is down, but he’s supplementing the box score in other ways. He recorded 20 rebounds in the Knicks’ 127-97 win over the Trail Blazers on Friday night at Madison Square Garden — six on the offensive glass. In his last two games, Towns has grabbed a whopping 42 rebounds, 13 of which […]
It’s incredible how quickly the mood around a team can change. Last week, the Knicks looked lost after losing nine of 11 games. Jalen Brunson asked his teammates to have more “care” than they showed. Their competitors were questioned. And just like that, that discourse is on the back burner. The dominant team that was […]

Secondary market tickets for Sunday’s Lakers-Knicks showdown were purchased for an average of $912, according to TickPick, which is the most expensive in the NBA since Kobe Bryant’s final game in 2016. James has not yet announced his retirement, but at 41 […]
