Jalen Brunson Confirms Team Meeting Details at Half-Time That Saved Knicks From Ruining NBA Future

The New York Knicks were staring into the abyss—down 20 points in a must-win Game 3. But according to Jalen Brunson, what happened in the locker room at halftime was the real game-changer.

“In the locker room, we talked… we can quickly start to point fingers,” Brunson said postgame. “But we got together as a team… keep fighting, keep chipping away. I’m just proud.”

And fight they did. Sure, Brunson’s 23 points mattered, but let’s be real—this game belonged to Karl-Anthony Towns.

Towns was a chaotic genius in motion. Through three quarters, he was more liability than lifeline, racking up fouls, turnovers, and groans from Knicks fans. But then came the fourth quarter. Towns detonated for 20 points in just over six minutes, bulldozing Indiana’s defense and dragging New York across the finish line.

It was the kind of explosion that makes you think, “This guy could lead us to a title.” And also the kind that makes you wonder if he’ll self-destruct mid-journey.

The Knicks are betting big—like, seven-first-round-picks kind of big—on their star duo. But if Brunson is the brains of the operation, Towns is definitely the wild-card heart. One second, he’s launching ill-advised threes, the next he’s bullying Myles Turner in the paint.

(This is a building story…)
