Knicks' Brunson Strain Hinders Playoff Push

Knicks' Brunson Strain Hinders Playoff Push

Author: The Daily News Now! April 23, 2026 Duration: 1:38

The New York Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson, are in a tight spot against the Atlanta Hawks. Brunsons high usage rate and low shooting percentage have made their offense predictable, allowing Atlantas guards to clamp down. With a stacked roster including Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges, the Knicks are not utilizing their wings effectively, leading to a reliance on Brunson. Defensively, Brunsons size and Towns lack of rim protection are causing issues. To advance, the Knicks need to spread the ball more and run plays for their full crew, or risk losing the series. Long term, tough decisions like trading Towns may be necessary to fix defensive holes for a real title shot.
