Those two led the Knicks to 51 wins and the conference finals, but the defense was not good enough, even with Mitchell Robinson.

Jalen Brunson is exceedingly difficult to guard. The New York Knicks star is one of the best scorers in the NBA, armed with a quick first step and shot release

The New York Knicks came up short again after a promising season. Many felt that the "Big Apple" team had what it took to beat the Indiana Pacers and advance to the NBA Finals since 1999. However, after fumbling the first two games of the series at home, the Knicks fell into a deep hole they could not get out of.

Pacers turned to Andrew Nembhard to guard Jalen Brunson in Game 6. And he hounded the Knicks star into his worst game of the series.

It's officially official that the 2024-25 NBA season will not be the one in which the New York Knicks snap a championship drought that dates back to 1973.

The Knicks won on their home floor for the first time in the series and prevented the Pacers from earning the second NBA Finals trip in franchise history.
