The New York Knicks are currently sitting third in the Eastern Conference, and they are being led by the strong play of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. It’s also hard to forget to mention the play of Josh Hart,

On Monday night, the New York Knicks will host the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden. For the game, the Knicks could be without their best player, as Ja

Jalen Brunson scored 44 points (shooting 5-of-10 on 3-pointers) with five rebounds and six assists to lead New York. The Knicks also got a star performance from Karl-Anthony Towns, who tallied 30 points and 18 rebounds.

If that was truly the case, New York's win on Sunday showed exactly why the Knicks remain a top contender. The Knicks blew through the Milwaukee Bucks in dominating fashion at Madison Square Garden. They led by 13 at the half, 19 at the end of three, and ended up resting most of their starters late in the game.

Josh Hart pirouetted as he swiped the ball from Guerschon Yabusele, then floated the pass to Mikal Bridges for the alley-oop slam, then screamed as Bridges hung on the rim with one hand. That was the exclamation point on a Wednesday night when the “Nova Knicks’” fingerprints were all over a 125-119 overtime victory over the shorthanded 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.

The New York Knicks may mean serious business on the court, as evidenced by their 125-119 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night that required an extra period. But the duo of Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart is the gift that keeps on giving.
