And I don't care how much sleep we get. I really don't. I mean, I'm going to stand up. I'm going to stay up. I'm going to enjoy this.

And I'm going to take it all in because I have never seen it before. I've never seen it like this.

Nick fans know exactly what I'm talking about because all those Nick great teams from 73 and 69 and all those years, you know, it was a different type of basketball, didn't have the three-point line,

and never since that time have we had a team that has been so locked in together, that has been so connected,

as Carmelo pointed out, three and a half or whatever, about a month ago, and a month and a half ago, I guess now,

that they were disconnected. This team is so connected. It's ridiculous. And this is another double digit win,

so it adds to their plus total as they have now won 12 in a row. I would have never thought that

at many points in this game. And what I'm saying, you know, as somebody who's been around a long time watching these teams is the best thing in the team I've ever seen. I've, and they all do a little bit of everything. And Mike Brown's got a lot of guys that are participating. And I, you know, obviously, Jalen Brunson takes over the fourth quarter. He does great. The Nick defense takes over the fourth quarter. They force 13 turnovers. They hit all their free throws. I thought a couple of big shots in this game. Of course, Jalen Brunson's three from the corner late. You have O.G. Ananobe thrown up three, three-pointers. You have Deuce thrown up a three-pointer. He had two of them. Shammit hit a couple. I mean, you got so many guys that have skin in the game. And then Josh Hart and even Richard Jefferson said at the end of the game last night, can I have a moment for Josh Hart? He didn't score about three points, and he's a guy that knows when his shot is off, he's not looking for it. He just, he just doesn't look for it and he wants to get somebody else involved. But he'll go after that ball. He'll get a rebound. He'll tip a steal. They forced 13 turnovers yesterday. I mean, this is the Nick team that we've seen and this is why I was saying, how are they, you know, underdogs by four points going into this game? I just, I just don't know how. Well, I mean, there were a couple times during the game where I was like, oh, okay, like, you know, now I'm seeing some of the matchup issues maybe, and Jalen Brunson's not getting to his spots, and Wembe is creating chaos and altering shots and altering the way the things that the Knicks do offensively, but they figured it out. I mean, and I think that's one of the biggest compliments you can give this group and Mike Brown is that there's nothing that gets thrown at them that they don't figure out the answer to sooner than later. You know, they started out the game great. I mean, they had a nice lead, and then all of a sudden flipped, and they didn't shoot as well after that first time out.

And, of course, going into halftime the way they did, it was a little bit disheartening for sure.

I went from a two-point lead to a seven-point lead in like 15 seconds.

And that can happen in these games, especially with three-pointers, and especially with the good shooters that both teams have.

I thought what I was worried about for the Knicks was because I thought they were

missing some shots late in this game that, you know, they really haven't been pushed

in a game in a long time late in the fourth quarter.

Like they have been sitting out those fourth quarters.

And I was thinking, okay, man, are they tired?

Are their legs just kind of, you know, not getting underneath them when they're shooting? And then all of a sudden, you know, John Brunson starts doing his thing, his little floaters and his little, you know, step back jumpers, you know, getting in the lane. There was also four straight possessions where he missed shots and San Antonio really couldn't capitalize on that even though they didn't come back.

But yeah, they were missing shots as well. And you're right about all these guys and everybody doing their part.

I mean, you can you could talk about each one of these guys that logged minutes and how important they were last night.

And Carl Anthony Towns, after last year, all the issues that he had, needed to turn into a

different player for the Knicks to be able to be at this level.

And he absolutely has.
