And they hit their stride in that series to such an extent.

when that's the best, without question, that their offense had played since that group came together and that starting lineup came together.

So I got to the point you say, yeah, this has now turned into a buzzsaw offensively because you've got to deal with Brunson, who's great, and then he's even better in the postseason.

Towns?

was playing better and actually more appreciated, even though his numbers came down as a scorer, his inclusion in the offense.

It's like he seemed like he was proud of the fact that they were utilizing his passing skills more.

So he was bought in more.

Then you had Ananobi and Bridges, like, hitting their stride at exactly the same time.

And then their bench was playing great.

So, yes, they hit a point where you go, wow, this team is actually at their absolute peak.

Peak level.

Very few teams can find it.

That's the best they can possibly play at exactly the right time.

That's where the Knicks were heading into the other night.

They were able to win that game, but OG Ananobi with that hamstring, that doesn't sound too serious, but it's going to be very delicate and tricky going forward.

I would suspect that no one has said this, but I would suspect

They sit them for game three tonight.

If they win the game, I think they sit them again because they'll be up 3-0 on Sunday.

And even if they somehow don't win that game, you're then going home to close it out.

Maybe you see them then.
