The New York Knicks ride a relentless transition attack and Jalen Brunson’s elite scoring to dominate the Orlando Magic and punch their ticket to the NBA Cup championship game. Can Tom Thibodeau’s squad sustain this pace and prove they’re true contenders? Gavin Schall breaks down the Knicks’ masterful performance, spotlighting Jalen Brunson’s 40-point outburst, Karl-Anthony Towns’ efficiency, and the crucial roles of OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges.

Topics include the Knicks’ dominant paint scoring, strategic fast breaks, and key defensive stops against Orlando’s elite half-court defense. The conversation also questions what New York still needs to prove, especially with an NBA Cup final showdown looming against Victor Wembanyama and the surging San Antonio Spurs. Can the Knicks deliver when it matters most and establish themselves among the NBA’s elite?
