Scoring eights points in the final 20 seconds, the NY Knicks orchestrated a stunning comeback, securing one of the most memorable victories in the team’s postseason history.
Trailing by five with a mere half-minute remaining, consecutive three-pointers from Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo – the latter following a steal by Josh Hart – turned the tide dramatically.
This improbable turn of events culminated in a euphoric 104-101 victory in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, solidifying a place in recent NBA playoff history for New York as they overcame a late deficit.
The Villanova trio – Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo – had a crucial role in the win. Jalen Brunson spoke about the advantages of having played for that prestigious University and what they all learned from that experience.
Coach Thibodeau and Brunson are proud of the team’s mindset and response to adversities. This season, the New York Knicks have shown they’re able to play for each other and put their egos aside to benefit the team.
