00:15Mike Brown and this Knicks coaching staff trying to solve what's been a weeks-long puzzle
00:20of getting off to better starts regardless of the opponent.
00:24But did enough work to get within six before the halftime break.
00:30Carl Anthony Towns 13 points to lead New York inside for Ananobi.
00:34Wolf's got three fouls, and Ananobi takes it right to him.
00:38You mentioned Towns 13 points in only 14 minutes, but helping OG score that time.
00:45Good dish to find him inside.
00:49Here's Traore out high, defended by Schammett.
00:52He's been beat up tonight, Traore.
00:55Danny Wolf popping out for a lot of threes, but that one's off the mark.
01:01Captain on the two of ten, trying to find his game tonight, shaking them.
01:05Only six first-half points.
01:07Well, he's got eight for the night now, and a good-looking start to the third quarter for the Knicks.
01:10Yeah, good isolating, devastating that time.
01:19Traore's showing off some good ball handling, but not good decision-making, bad pass stolen by Bridges.
01:25Bridges has seven in the first quarter.
01:27Still stuck on seven.
01:31Towns hasn't taken a three yet.
01:32Bridges slips inside.
01:34Schammett leaks out for an open three.
01:37Bridges the offensive rebound.
01:39Towns will take his first three-pointer.
01:41And the Knicks take the lead.
01:44Second opportunities.
01:46Good ball there by Bridges.
01:48Defined Towns.
01:50Seven-nothing start to the third quarter, and they've taken the lead for the first time since it was three
01:54to two.
01:56And then it goes.
01:57Traore finds an open wolf again.
02:00Bricked it too strong, and Bridges gets the rebound.
02:03Whoopens misses last three shots.
02:08Brunson looking to explore him now.
02:10And it'll be short from the corner, and Wolf gets the board.
02:15And it'll be 0-3 from beyond the arc.
02:20Brunson able to draw the charge.
02:22Number 26 this season.
02:24He leads the NBA by a wide margin.
02:26Yeah, Wolf has been discombobulated.
02:29He's missed his last three shots.
02:31This time out of his element trying to create.
02:35And look at Bridges getting the second opportunity.
02:37Towns, the beneficiary, straight on with the Swiss.
02:42Yeah, and it licks the back.
02:44Towns is nine for his last 20 from three.
02:48By the way, that was the fourth foul on Danny Wolf.
02:55You're leaving him out there.
03:00Brunson has been explored in the mismatches.
03:02They clapped it inside, and then fumbled it out of bounds.
03:06Yeah, a good hounding D-back, Claxton.
03:08He went over to grab the ball to reestablish the strong grip line,
03:12and even after losing it.
03:15Again, he missed Tuesday's game with next corner,
03:18so it's been one of the longer absences from gameplay we've seen from Bruxon this year
03:23as Claxton gets the first Nets basket of the half.
03:27And Brooklyn's in front 52-51.
03:29Yeah, but it was causing a good penetration, breaking down the Knick defense.
03:38Oh, OG coughs it up.
03:40And Obey apparently touched it last.
03:42And a little carryover from what we saw in the first half.
03:45They're going to call double technicals on Andanobi and Claxton.
03:49Williams and Robinson were hit with double technicals in the second quarter.
03:56And we saw Towns go down, and we saw Robinson getting into it.
04:01Must be a full moon.
04:04It's Friday the 20th.
04:06It would be a full moon.
04:08I know it's spring, Tyler.
04:09First day of spring.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Maybe that's what they're fighting about.
04:13His last Friday was Friday the 13th.
04:15But, Clyde, in the halftime interview, as they're going to take a look at the video,
04:20Zyre Williams said, quote,
04:22We owe them one.
04:23They whooped on us last time we played him, talking about that 54-point Knick win.
04:28This one's a little more personal.
04:30You noticed that right away, some extra intensity from Brooklyn on the defensive end,
04:34but now it's carried over to some post-whistle events.
04:38So both teams must regain their composure as the officials look it over.
04:43But you like to see that if you're a Nets fan, show some fire and desire, man.
04:48These guys have dominated you the last three years.
04:5113 consecutive losses to the Knicks.
04:54The all-time record for consecutive wins for the Knicks was 21 in a row over Boston back in the
05:01mid-90s.
05:02Didn't add insult to injury.
05:04You play them, and you lose by 54 points the last time at the world's most famous arena.
05:09And the last couple of wins for the Knicks over the Nets, they have propelled the Knicks to two different
05:15hot streaks this year.
05:17We talked about ending that 2-9 skid, and since they blew out the Nets back on January 21st,
05:23they've had the best defense in the league.
05:26But also, you can go back to November 24th.
05:28The Knicks were 9-6, they were good, maybe not dominant.
05:32They beat the Nets here by 13 in Brooklyn, and that started a stretch of 11 wins in 12 games.
05:37As a review, we see both players initiate contact with one another, slapping their hands away.
05:40It's going to be a double technical foul on OG Ananobi and Mick Claxton.
05:45The technicals will offset and will resume play point of interruption.
05:49That sounds about right, Clyde.
05:50Yeah, yeah, I thought, tell them they cut it out or you will be out of here.
05:58We saw Carl Anthony Towns get an isolated technical for arguing a non-call earlier in the game,
06:06but since then, double technicals twice.
06:11So, five techs in this game, Ben Taylor, Nick Booker, and Brandon Schwab trying to keep things in line.
06:18The NBA gives that money to different charities, but I don't think they list who they are.
06:23The technical foul, folly by the players.
06:29Brooklyn up by one.
06:31Claxton had the last bucket after a 7-0 start for the second half of the Knicks.
06:37Powell, the rookie from UNC, swings it around, open three.
06:41Williams got it.
06:44Williams only had ten points, but they all came in the second quarter.
06:48Williams very catalytic.
06:49So, this time, the big three ball.
06:51It's been their best scorer off the bench this year, ten points a game,
06:55but he started tonight for the eighth time this year.
06:58Towns had it poked away.
06:59Good recovery by Bridges.
07:01Well, look out for it.
07:02Nick's are from the hoop.
07:03Five to shoot.
07:04Bridges looking around.
07:05Into the corner for Shamit.
07:07Over the 6-11 Wolf.
07:09Offensive rebound.
07:10Towns, and the putback goes.
07:12Claxton not boxing him out.
07:15Towns definitely devastating underneath.
07:18It's his third straight game with five offensive rebounds.
07:22Carl-Anthony Towns, what a run.
07:23Claxton with some speed.
07:25Missed it over Bridges.
07:26Got it back and then threw it down.
07:30Persistence personified by 6-11 Claxton that time.
07:35And then a whistle and a foul away from the ball.
07:38Towns have position underneath Antra Orway.
07:40And they will call the 19-year-old rookie for his third foul.
07:43Well, let's take a look at Claxton hustling and muscling underneath.
07:47Coming up with the loose ball.
07:49Rising and surprising them with this stuff.
07:56Claxton plays collegially at the University of Georgia.
08:00Native of South Carolina.
08:06Runs are trying to recalibrate that handle tonight.
08:09Spins on Powell.
08:10Goes for the bank shot.
08:12Pinballed around and the next will get an extra possession out of it.
08:15They should put 14 back on the shot clock.
08:18Yeah, Wolf at it but could not bring it in.
08:21Jordy Fernandez had to give his team the bad news.
08:24Guys, I already burned our challenge in the first quarter.
08:32Tend to shoot for Brunson.
08:34Nice pass to Towns.
08:36He'll take it right to the rim and he'll draw the foul on Williams.
08:39Towns has been dominating the paint, folks.
08:42Feasting from the free throw line.
08:43He's looking for two more.
08:45So good ESP with he and Brunson.
08:51Carson no-look pass by Jalen.
08:54Whipping it inside to Towns.
08:55There's the foul.
08:59So nice to show it twice from the maestro.
09:04Towns the virtuoso now at the line for two.
09:08That replay was presented by Heineken and Joy Heineken responsibly.
09:12Towns started the game one for seven.
09:15He hasn't missed a shot since.
09:17Four of four from the field and now eight of eight from the free throw line.
09:21And he's got 19 and 11.
09:23So it's his league-leading 49th double-double of the season.
09:29Yep, he's been very consistent.
09:33This is the version of Carl Anthony Towns you need to make a deep playoff run.
09:37And it seems like he's hitting his stride at the perfect time.
09:40He was questionable tonight.
09:42A lot of people say he would not play tonight, but there he is having a tremendous game.
09:4920 and 10 for the second consecutive game.
09:52Top five in the league with 20-point double-doubles.
09:56Traore got hit hard by Ananobi.
09:58And Nolan Traore will get his first trip of the free throw line.
10:02It's just the first foul on Ananobi.
10:05Traore has had trouble tonight.
10:08Turnovers being smacked around.
10:11So finally getting a measure of revenge here going to the line for two.
10:21First points of the evening.
10:24One of an NBA record five first-round rookies for the Nets.
10:29A lot of folks thought they might try to package some picks and trade up.
10:33They did not get very fortunate in the lottery.
10:36Dropped to eighth and picked Yegor Gielman, who's out for the year with plantar fasciitis,
10:40but showed some good signs the first few months of the year.
10:43Traore, I have suits older than him.
10:47I believe you've got a 20-year-old suit.
10:49That makes perfect sense to me.
10:51Yeah, I have suits older than him.
10:53Ananobi posterizes Danny Wolfe for the second time of the quarter.
10:56Nasty, sassy stuff by O.G., much more than in the light of his teammates.
11:03And that's what's made him so hard to stop lately,
11:06not just his elite three-point shooting, his ability to get to the rim.
11:12Look at the Nick defense now.
11:14Very active, doing a good job.
11:19Towns rebound number 12.
11:23Nets hanging around.
11:26Now, Bridget is still stuck on seven points.
11:28Hooks a pass to Ananobi.
11:29Underneath, not a bad idea from Ananobi, but Wolfe stole it.
11:33Yeah, good sleight of hand by the 16th Wolfe.
11:35Look at Wolfe now.
11:36Penetrating.
11:37We featured him at the top of the show.
11:40A lot of pressure on a young player when Clyde breaks down your highlights
11:45before the game even starts.
11:47Traore with the scoop shot.
11:49Ambitious play.
11:51Ananobi able to clean up the air ball.
11:52I thought he traveled before that.
11:55Sire Williams playing some soccer.
11:56Will send us to break.
11:58O.G. Ananobi bringing the Knicks back within two points here in Brooklyn.
12:01Previously, O.G., very pugnacious, getting teed up.
12:07But this time taking it out on the Nets.
12:09And the rim slamming and jamming.
12:1659 years ago, this past Wednesday,
12:19Walt Frazier was the MVP of the 1967 NIT title game.
12:23Here's Tom Kelly on the call.
12:26This is Walt Frazier.
12:28This is some basketball player, ladies and gentlemen.
12:32Frazier, free throw line jumper.
12:34Beautiful.
12:35Just beautiful.
12:39Oh, he's up straight.
12:41Steal by Frazier.
12:42Look out for him.
12:46Frazier's going out and listen to this hand.
12:50Walt ended up with 21 points.
12:52The Salukis win it, 71-56.
12:55How about that, Clyde?
12:57You had 21 points, 11 rebounds, and five dimes in that championship game.
13:01That was my claim to fame, folks.
13:02In IT.
13:04You were such a good-looking guy back then.
13:05What happened?
13:07All the stress.
13:09Stress and mess.
13:11Here's the O'Roura.
13:12Rattles in a quarter three.
13:13And the Knicks are back in front.
13:18Now, before that happened, Clyde,
13:20and you had that big coming-out moment of the NIT,
13:23did you ever think the NBA was in the cards for you?
13:26No, I didn't.
13:27I didn't know until I came there, Tyler.
13:29Because when I read the Sports Illustrated,
13:32I wasn't reading about me.
13:33I was reading about other guys.
13:36Knicks forces steel.
13:37Bridges cuts inside and lays it home.
13:40Now, the Knicks with good cohesion trying to take away the harder-than-its snap.
13:46Of course, the Knicks draft to Clyde shortly after that NIT championship,
13:50and the rest is history.
13:51Claxton in the alley-oop.
13:53One-point game again.
13:56It's a little March Madness fun.
14:02Brunson, a hand to Bridges.
14:04He's scored his first points since the first quarter.
14:10The O'Roura, not this time.
14:15The Knicks have led by as many as three,
14:18and Trayle by as many as 13.
14:22Drake Powell now.
14:25It's hit by Bridges, but Wolfe able to control it.
14:31Powell on the move.
14:32Awkward-looking layup.
14:33Yeah, good harassment by Robinson.
14:36Making him a hurry to shot.
14:38Brunson inside.
14:39Another rebound for Danny Wolfe.
14:41He's got six.
14:42That's been it for the captain tonight.
14:45Coming up shot.
14:46Short on his shots.
14:48Drawing.
14:49Feeds Wolfe on the wing.
14:50Drives past Brunson.
14:52Met by Diora.
14:53That's good vertical defense from the rookie.
14:55Both teams showing a little attrition right now.
14:59Bahama Diora got fouled hard by Traore.
15:02And Danny Wolfe thought he should have had that call on the other end.
15:06Diora missed the three-ball previously.
15:09But this time, he'll bend to get to the hoop.
15:11There's the reach-in and the foul.
15:13So he's shooting two.
15:17Tyler, we mentioned that he had dinner with the man.
15:20He did.
15:22They were shooting hoops.
15:23Yeah, yeah.
15:25Most of them breaking bread together.
15:29He's becoming quite the celebrity here in New York City.
15:34Mahama Diora will get two free throws.
15:43Seemed like the last few games, Jordan Clarkson had passed him in the rotation,
15:47but with no Josh Hart.
15:48They're both out there on the floor together.
15:49Now it's time for DirecTV New Era.
15:52How about the three-point percentage leaders among rookies?
15:56Nobody's going to catch Khan Knippel, although Javon Smalls doing a nice job for Memphis.
16:00But Mahama Diora, and the eye test confirms this,
16:05he really has been one of the best shooters among first-year players in the NBA.
16:09Yeah, showing a lot of confidence.
16:11Nixon loved him.
16:13His length.
16:15Defensive prowess, rebounding.
16:17And he's only 20 years of age, folks.
16:20Sometimes you can tell a lot about how a young player will progress with their shot
16:25based off their free throws early.
16:26He is now 11 out of 14 as a rookie.
16:30Another Frenchman.
16:33They're ubiquitous tonight.
16:35Williams.
16:36And what an angle around Robinson for a tough two.
16:39Williams has distinguished himself tonight.
16:45Yeah, he plays the fifties, Hounden Brunson now.
16:48They want to match it up with Nick Kaplan as often as possible.
16:52Diora couldn't hand it off, so he'll take matters into his own hands.
16:55Good extra pass from Bridges.
16:56Brunson for three.
17:00Now it's Cheney Johnson playing catch on the break.
17:04And Zaire Williams finishes with authority.
17:07Beavis's eye on the right side layup.
17:09He's starting slamming and jamming on them.
17:12Nick's got to get back in transition.
17:14Towns has 20, but it's Williams right behind him with 17 to lead Brooklyn.
17:19Remember, Williams had 10 in that second quarter.
17:23Robinson saw that pass coming just in time.
17:26And Bridges create.
17:27Matched up with Johnson.
17:28Taking the rookie off the dribble.
17:30Tough fadeaway.
17:31Got tipped.
17:31Offensive rebound Robinson.
17:33Did he get it off in time?
17:35No.
17:36The basket will not count.
17:38Shot clock violation.
17:39The Knicks might challenge this one.
17:41The players are telling the coach the challenge.
17:43They've had like four shot clock violations already tonight after Knicks.
17:50Watch the backboard.
17:51Watch the backboard.
17:54Oh.
17:56I don't know if he got it off in time, but you could maybe argue a foul on Danny Wolfe.
18:02When the backboard illuminated, he still had it in his hands.
18:06Knicks ball up one, two-fifty to go in the third quarter.
18:10And we've got a game going on.
18:12Oh.
18:13You've got a basketball in your hands here.
18:15Yeah.
18:16Betsy got a rebound.
18:18Timeout, New York.
18:20Betsy's rebounding rate is on a Hall of Fame face.
18:2465-64 Brooklyn.
18:26Hanging on here.
18:28Knicks trying to match a comeback again.
18:31With the Caesars Sportsbook app, you can place your bets in just a few taps.
18:35It's made with New Yorkers in mind.
18:37It's direct, it's no nonsense, and it's the best way to join in on all the sports betting action.

19:03And the Nets are not tanking tonight, folks.
19:06They're giving the Knicks all they can handle.
19:09Brunson having an off night has exacerbated it for the Knicks.
19:13But the Knicks are hanging in there.
19:15As he always does, though, when the shot's not falling, he's getting other players involved.
19:19So five assists leads the Knicks from Brunson, but three of 13 from the field, just eight points.
19:26They've been on his case tonight.
19:29Williams, a lot of the time, they try to throw a Bajie on him at this time down,
19:33but a screen gets Cheney-Johnson matched up with Brunson.
19:36Double-team from Surrath.
19:38Clarkson now with six to shoot.
19:39He'll launch a three and connects.
19:41Jordan Clarkson from downtown.
19:45Timely hooping by Clarkson straight on with the hoop.
19:48He's got seven points.
19:55A Bajie pulls up, blocked by Robinson.
19:58That's the third block for Mitchell Robinson tonight.
20:01Yeah, seven-footer.
20:03Rising and denying him that time.
20:07Final two minutes, third quarter.
20:11A much tighter than expected game here at Brooklyn, at least by many, maybe not the Nets.
20:19Clarkson steps back, one to shoot.
20:21He finds Ananobi in the nick of time.
20:24But what about Clarkson, previously the big three ball, this time finding O.G. underneath.
20:32Some late shot clock execution from Jordan Clarkson, the Knicks have their largest lead.
20:37They leave Johnson alone, can't make him pay.
20:40D.O.R. the rebound.
20:42Picked up his dribble, needs some help.
20:45Eight-second violation count.
20:48And Brunson, I believe, got it across in time, and he will be fouled by Minot.
20:55Let's take a look at the Knicks grand-doer now.
20:57Clarkson coming off the bench right here straight on with the hoof with the Swiss.
21:05Yeah.
21:08And then this time keeping his head up, finding O.G. along the baseline with the suck.
21:14That was tonight's lime drop, dime drop presented by Corona.
21:19Clarkson doesn't have to score 20 points tonight,
21:22but a little burst like that can change games.
21:25Brunson off one leg, gets it to go, but they wave it off.
21:29Oh, they give him a stop.
21:32They're going to call a foul on Mitchell Robinson.
21:37Negating the basket?
21:39No, they've counted the basket, but a foul on Robinson.
21:44Right side of your screen.
21:48Robinson's there.
21:49There's the show.
21:53Oh, Brunson's got 10.
21:55All right, couldn't finish this drawing drive.
21:57Good job by the Knicks not fouling in.
22:00Final minute, third quarter.
22:03No fouls to give for Brooklyn.
22:10Brunson double-teamed.
22:11Good catch for Mananobi.
22:13He'll drive baseline and throws it down.
22:16Oh, how many stuff does he have tonight?
22:19At least four.
22:21Nine-nothing Knick run from down 13 to up eight.
22:27Seraf pushed off.
22:28Can't do that.
22:30Offensive foul.
22:31Knicks will take over.
22:32Seraf.
22:33Seraf previously missed the layup.
22:36And look at OG.
22:37Going baseline, rising majestically.
22:40And the finish.
22:44Might have had an argument for a three-point play.
22:50See the double in Brunson making him give it up.
22:54And he does.
22:56Diora penetrates, kicks.
22:58And it'll be out to Diora.
23:00Five to shoot.
23:02Brunson on the move.
23:03Slips inside.
23:04Bank shot is good.
23:06Nice to move it and groove him by Brunson.
23:11Minot trying to beat the buzzer.
23:14And the Knicks are starting to look a little bit more like themselves here in the second half.
23:19An 11-0 run to close the third quarter.
23:22And they'll take a ten-point lead into the fourth.
23:25Yeah.
23:26Clarkson swishing.
23:28Enjoy more of the Guardian with Chase.
23:30Let's go to Bill and Allen in our studio for more on tonight's action.
23:35That's Tuesday, March 24th at 7.30 p.m.
23:39Scan the QR code.
23:40Head to knicks.com to get tickets and join us for this special game day.
23:46Quite a third quarter, Clyde.
23:48The Knicks outscored the Nets 31-15.
23:51And after trailing by 13 points about midway through the second quarter,
23:55they're up by ten.
23:56Heroes abound.
23:58Early on it was Cat driving and thriving.
24:01Then Brunson started to get hot.
24:03OG slamming and jamming.
24:05Clarkson also coming up with some big hoops igniting the team.
24:10We'll start the fourth quarter with Alvarado, Clarkson, and Anobi Diawara in town.
24:15This is Jose Alvarado who's going to get called for his second foul.
24:21Jose baffled by the call.
24:25He does not seem happy.
24:27Yeah, pugnacious.
24:32Pugnacious.
24:34Awesome job being miked up on Tuesday.
24:37There's some great interactions with the officials, with his teammates.
24:41We've got to mic up Jose Alvarado more often.
24:44Why not?
24:46Misfiring.
24:46He missed the last shot at the end of the third quarter.
24:50Misfiring on this one.
24:51He scored 13 points in about a quarter and a half, picked up two fouls, came out, and he has
24:55not scored since.
24:57Tough pass inside was tipped away by Sarath.
24:59Careless pass by Towns.
25:02Johnson got fouled by Towns.
25:04And two free throws coming up for Cheney Johnson as Towns picks up number three.
25:08Yeah, he was also the culprit with the turnover, so good job by the Nets getting in transition to get
25:14to the line.
25:15But if the Knicks find a way to win this game, you have to look at Carl Anthony Towns as
25:18the guy who started the comeback.
25:20He's got 20 points, 12 rebounds.
25:24He's 49th double-double.
25:26And five offensive rebounds.
25:28Yeah, he started dominating the paint, especially in transition.
25:31And then he and Brunson started to get the two-man game going, creating a mayhem in the paint for
25:37the Nets.
25:38Brunson getting the rest now.
25:40Seven assists for Brunson.
25:45Sellout crowd tonight, folks.
25:4718,017 here.
25:52Easy commute for Knicks fans from the Garden to the center.
25:56Yeah.
26:00Johnson got four free throws to an eight-point game.
26:02Surrath almost giving Alvarado a taste of his own medicine.
26:06Coaches love to see that type of action.
26:09Surrath dive in on the court.
26:11Good closeout from Johnson.
26:12Clarkson trying to get around him.
26:14End of the shot clock.
26:15And that is the fifth time, unless a foul is called, yes.
26:21It is a foul called against Johnson.
26:23Would have been the fifth shot clock violation forced by Brooklyn.
26:26That's playing hard, but not smart that time.
26:29Shot clock was winding down.
26:31Clarkson taking a poor shot.
26:32They bail him out.
26:34It's the third time, though, in the second half.
26:36We've seen Clarkson with the ball.
26:39The late shot clock.
26:40He's hit a three.
26:41Dished out an assist.
26:43And now worked his way to the free throw line.
26:45Yep.
26:46Earning his minutes now off the bench.
26:48It's probably not plan A when they set up the offense each possession,
26:52but it's good to know you've got that break glass in case of emergency option with Jordan Clarkson.
26:59Clarkson, the oldest, Nick.
27:0133 years of age.
27:06And he gets both free throws.
27:08So, nine points for Clarkson.
27:10Averaging double figures now over the past five games as he's been reinserted into the rotation.
27:16Whoa.
27:18Sarapha missed the layup.
27:19He showed a good ability to get to the rim, but he couldn't finish there.
27:21Yeah, feline quickness that time.
27:24Six-foot-eight.
27:25Doing a good job.
27:26Well, they're going to send him to the line to shoot two.
27:30Or are they?
27:32The Knicks will challenge the call.
27:34Yeah.
27:35Haven't tried one yet.
27:36And with a ten-point lead early in the fourth quarter, we will have a replay review.
27:41We'll find out when we come back.
27:42Left to fight another day.
27:48Don't let him paint on your parade.
27:53Just let him know you're here to say.
27:56Don't let him know you won't go.
28:00And you'll never be afraid.
28:04To live to fight another day.
28:08Welcome back to Friday Night Knicks presented by Corona.
28:11You're listening to Live to Fight Another Day by Kong.
28:18Let's take a look at the challenge.
28:21All ball right there.
28:26So they say no foul on DOR, and you saw Towns get the rebound.
28:30So imminent possession awarded to the Knicks.
28:33A very successful challenge by New York.
28:37Alvarado's strong drives up.
28:39Off to Ananobi.
28:40And a right-hand finish.
28:4113 points for OG Ananobi.
28:43What about that dazzling passing that time?
28:46Good job by Jose.
28:49The second assist.
28:51And Ananobi's got ten points in the second half alone.
28:55Alekai Smith got tripped up.
28:58And a call the foul on Ananobi this time.
29:01It's his second.
29:03So it'll be none shooting.
29:05That's what happened along the sideline.
29:09And Ananobi's three-point shot hasn't gone down.
29:11So what has he done?
29:13Well, he continues attacking the basket.
29:16He is six of seven from inside the arc.
29:20Yeah, three of four have to be done.
29:23We're done.
29:25Smith by Johnson.
29:27Minot from the wing.
29:28That's his first basket since the second quarter.
29:32And he brings Brooklyn back with a knife.
29:35Yep, Minot had about 13 early on.
29:39And only ten minutes of action.
29:46Alvarado driving on Abadji.
29:48Up top for Diowara.
29:50Swing to Ananobi.
29:51His three-pointer is good.
29:52And Ananobi's first triple of the night
29:55gives the Knicks a double-digit lead.
29:56On the left elbow.
29:57Oh, there's a steal by Clarkson.
30:00Two on two.
30:01Clarkson.
30:02Offensive rebound.
30:03Towns.
30:04That's number six tonight.
30:05And he's got 22 points.
30:07Hustle and muscle now.
30:08By these Knicks.
30:11What a difference maker Jordan Clarkson's been tonight.
30:16Smith in traffic.
30:17Finds an open shooter.
30:19Josh Minot connects again.
30:21Right in front of the Knick Vint.
30:23A little deja vu for Minots.
30:26And Nets are now shooting 39% from three.
30:29Not bad for teams.
30:30It's at 34% for the year.
30:32That's what's keeping them in the game right now.
30:35They will call Johnson for the foul.
30:36The Nets bench obviously disagrees.
30:40Only their second team foul.
30:43So the Knicks.
30:45Let's take a look.
30:55Oh, guys, intertwine there.
30:58That would be an interesting challenge if they hadn't burned it in the first half.
31:02And Minot steals the inbound.
31:04Careless pass by the Knicks.
31:07Sarath looking around.
31:09Smith steps around Alvarado.
31:11Hot step in the lane.
31:13Shot wouldn't go.
31:14Sarath the offensive rebound.
31:16Obagi gets a clean look.
31:20Nice save there from Townsley over-the-head pass.
31:23Yeah, dangerous pass, though.
31:25But it worked out for the Knicks.
31:26Good hustle by Towns.
31:30Alvarado running the show.
31:32The ball is moving freely now.
31:34But both teams.
31:38Towns one-legged fadeaway won't go.
31:41Towns was hell-bent to get that off.
31:43He had an Alvarado.
31:44He was...
31:45Alvarado was open.
31:47Minot stays hot.
31:48That's his third three-pointer of the fourth quarter.
31:51And it's an eight-point game.
31:52All three have come from that left elbow adjacent to the Knick bench.
31:56His career high is 24 points.
31:58He's got 22 tonight on six three-pointers.
32:06And they're going to call an offensive foul on Jose Alvarado.
32:10Sarath went down.
32:11And the Nets have some life here after the Knicks had opened up a 14-point lead.
32:16It's a Mitchell Robinson, in fact, call for the illegal screen.
32:19Defense providing the impetus for both teams.
32:23So, the Nets getting over the screen with Gusto.
32:26And there's the trip by Robinson.
32:3020-nick turnovers.
32:32They averaged us 14 a game, sixth in the league.
32:35And their season high is 21 against Sacramento.
32:40Now the Knicks, no more fouls to give.
32:43Now they start playing defense with their feet, not their hands.
32:46And their heads.
32:53That 21-turnover game against Sacramento is actually a win at the Garden.
32:59Obagi, too strong from the corner, but Towns fumbled the rebound.
33:03Malachi Smith for three.
33:05In day seven of his 10-day contract, Malachi Smith.
33:09A life-sustaining three-pointer for Brooklyn.
33:12They're back within five, and Mike Brown needs timeout.
33:15Minot has three consecutive threes.
33:19And now another one invited that's tantalized.
33:239-0 Brooklyn run.
33:25They're back within five.

33:39And here's tonight's Cadillac trivia answer.
33:43Which coach reached 500 wins the fastest?
33:46Clyde threw out basically the top three immediately once we asked this question back in the first quarter.
33:53You nailed it, Clyde.
33:55Bill Jackson, that was your guess, right?
33:58Yeah.
33:58Jackson Jackson.
34:00My former roommate.
34:02It only took him 682 games to win 500.
34:06That is ridiculous.
34:07Pat Riley and Greg Popovich were two and three.
34:11I thought we had a rule, Clyde, about not giving the answer away immediately.
34:14I'd never get it right, though.
34:17I can say as many as I want.
34:19It doesn't matter.
34:19That is the Hall of Famer Mike Breen rule.
34:21But you have to make the Hall of Fame twice like Clyde to be exempt.
34:24I get it.
34:26Alvarado lost the handle and got it right back from Johnson.
34:28Brunson from the corner.
34:30Oh.
34:31And that kind of night for the Knick captain.
34:33One of six from three.
34:35Alley-oop.
34:36Johnson on the other end.
34:3811-0 Brooklyn or on.
34:40This game's far from over.
34:42Nick's not getting back in transition.
34:45And bounce.
34:47And bounce.
34:56Clarkson up top and Bridges now gets away from Smith with a Clarkson screen.
35:02Two seconds to shoot.
35:03Gets it to Brunson.
35:05And he did not get it off in time.
35:08Let's take a look at the Nets in transition.
35:11The UFO by the Knicks.
35:13And they do not get back.
35:15So the Nets are able to capitalize.
35:19Young legs rising.
35:23And with another shot clock violation, it is a season-high 22 turnovers for the Knicks.
35:29Whistle and an offensive foul.
35:31Clarkson has drawn a couple tonight.
35:34The push-off from Josh Minon, who just picked up his fourth.
35:39He was joking on content day this year when he said,
35:43I'm going to play defense this year.
35:45It's not what he's known for.
35:46But he really has buckled down and been a big part of, lately anyway,
35:51this number one defense over the past two months.
35:53Yeah, he's shown versatility with his game as well.
35:56Not just a three-baller.
35:58Gets the rebound.
35:59And it is Nick and Robinson.
36:03Gets rid of it to Brunson.
36:05That defense swarming now.
36:08Oh.
36:09That one tipped by Seraf.
36:10And once again, late shot clock.
36:12A prayer from Clarkson.
36:14Not answered.
36:16Nickson disarray on the offense now.
36:19Halfway through the fourth quarter, this game is up for grabs.
36:23Nickson won the last 13 games against the Nets.
36:27Johnson can't tie it.
36:28Abadji, the offensive rebound.
36:31Seraf to the rack.
36:32One-point game.
36:34Swooping and hooping.
36:35Second and third opportunities for the Nets that time.
36:38It is a 13-0 Brooklyn run.
36:44And that's where they are.
36:45They've lost 13 consecutive to the Knicks.
36:48Trying to break that streak.
36:51And it'll be in the corner.
36:54Why not the leak out pass to Abadji.
36:57And the Nets take the lead.
37:01Nickson stagnant, lethargic now.
37:04Especially in transition.
37:06That bench very excited.
37:09They've lost five in a row overall.
37:11Nickson won fork in a second.
37:13Brunson can't stop the bleeding.
37:17That's what all the moments in that.
37:19Look at the pep in their step.
37:27My night has heard him with the three ball.
37:31This guy just heard him off the penetration.
37:35Looking to do it again.
37:37The Rott spins on Brunson.
37:39That looked like a travel from here.
37:41The Knicks get away with a stop either way.
37:44The Rott was pure, pure, pure rating.
37:48But he looked like he traveled.
37:51Ananobi.
37:52Baseline drive.
37:53Clarkson finds bridges all alone up top.
37:56Oh.
37:58The 15-0 runner remains.
38:00Look at the ball movement.
38:01Superb ball movement by both teams.
38:09We are officially in crunch time.
38:11And Georgia Fernandez did not like how that possession was developing.
38:15He calls time with 4-10 to play.
38:18And 12 on the shot clock.
38:20This game with playoff intensity now.
38:22Being enjoyed by a capacity crowd in Brooklyn.
38:26The Nets are trying to shock the city of New York.
38:28Up one late.
38:31Nets lead by one with 4-10 to go.
38:34Time on the court is presented by chevyoffers.com.
38:39Carl Anthony Towns about to check back into the game.
38:42Did not see much of him during this 15-0 Brooklyn run.
38:46In fact, the Knicks have not scored in the last five minutes.
38:50And it might be up to Towns to change that right now.
38:53Well, hopefully he can get back into the rhythm of this game.
38:56And it's been a vacillating pace.
38:59Nets controlling the action.
39:01There it is again.
39:02Look at that shot by Wolfe.
39:03He's left alone.
39:05And now two for seven from beyond the arc.
39:08Landry Schambach questionable to return with a knee injury.
39:13So, Jose Alvarado playing with the starters right now.
39:16Bruns into the foul line.
39:18And Adobe, he'll launch a three.
39:21The Knicks are 8 of 27 from beyond the arc tonight.
39:26And obviously, when their offense suffers, so there's their defense.
39:31Draw.
39:31It drives on Towns.
39:32And he's able to draw the foul.
39:34And that's number four on Cat.
39:37So, the Knicks are a step quicker now than the Knicks.
39:40The Knicks are on a little attrition.
39:42So, the Knicks are going to the line for two.
39:48And you could forgive this Nets team, young and looking more toward the draft lottery than the playoff race.
39:55They've been eliminated for a week now.
39:57They were down by 14 with nine and a half minutes to go in this game.
40:03And since then, they have not allowed a point.
40:06And with that free throw from Traore, they've scored 16 in a row.
40:10And this is no wordy.
40:11Klaxon is on the bench.
40:12A lot of their guys, Porter is not in the game, did not play tonight.
40:17So, this is a young Knit team right now trying to come away with this victory.
40:24It was a six-point game at halftime.
40:26Knicks started the third quarter on a 7-0 run.
40:30And Brunson has been double-teamed all evening.
40:33Oh, he has not been a factor.
40:38Towns wants to take Wolfe.
40:40Spins baseline.
40:42Tough fadeaway.
40:42Draws the foul.
40:44And that's how the Knicks have stayed alive in this game despite an off-shooting night.
40:48They are 20 of 26 from the line.
40:50And Towns is 9 of 9.
40:52And the Nets have 13 threes.
40:55The Nets have balanced it out to only eight threes for the Knicks.
40:58So, the Knicks had 18 threes the last game.
41:01So, the free throw is keeping them in.
41:03And Towns is at the line now for two more.
41:05That was the fifth foul on Danny Wolfe.
41:13He didn't like that call.
41:14But the Nets don't have a challenge remaining.
41:16The Knicks do, though.
41:17They were successful on one earlier in this fourth quarter.
41:20Towns 9 of 9.
41:22The Swar.
41:26Perfect 10.
41:27And that is their first points in the last 6 minutes and 21 seconds.
41:33That's how the Nets were able to get the lead here.
41:35And this is the third best offense in the league by offensive rating.
41:40And the Nets are their worst scoring team in the league.
41:43Only averaging 106.
41:46That's why they play the games.
41:47That's why they play the game in the league.
41:5011-11.
41:51Make-a-wish for Carl Anthony Towns.
41:53That's his free throw stat line tonight.
41:54He's got 24 points and 14 rebounds.
41:57Accepted and denied a three-ball.
41:59Take away the three-ball from these guys.
42:01Nets ball up one.
42:04As we hit three minutes to go.
42:06Danny Wolfe passed up to three that time.
42:08And he's rejected by Towns.
42:10Or at least he altered the shot.
42:12The O'Rourke crunch time minutes for the rookie.
42:15Towns at three.
42:17Another shot that's halfway down and pops out.
42:22Crowd ooh and aah and with every move now.
42:29Sarac to Wolfe.
42:32Sarac wide open.
42:33That's wide right.
42:34And Bridges secures it.
42:37Game hanging in the balance.
42:40Both teams malfunction.
42:43Bronson weaves it.
42:45And he'll bank in the go-ahead bucket with 2.19 to go.
42:49Missed the clutch.
42:50It's your time.
42:53Money in the bank that time.
42:55It was two months ago that the Knicks beat this Nets team by 54.
43:02Right now they're up by one with two minutes left.
43:05Minot trying to get away from Anna Novy.
43:07Steps in the lane.
43:09Throws up a wild shot.
43:10And Towns gets the rebound.
43:11Bridges and OG did interior D that time.
43:17Captain trying to find the range again.
43:19Previously weaving and achieving.
43:22The O'Rourke.
43:23Back out to Bridges.
43:25Let's go Knicks is the chant on the road in Brooklyn.
43:28Bronson has the mismatch.
43:30Pull up jumper.
43:31Got it!
43:34Wolfe is 6'10".
43:36Nice shaking and baking by Bronson to elude him.
43:39He's been ice cold tonight.
43:41But four unanswered from Jalen Bronson has given the Knicks a three-point lead.
43:49Knicks have no fouls to give.
43:52Minot.
43:53Bronson the rebound.
43:57The captain starting to percolate.
44:01Minot was 6 of 8 from 3 before that miss.
44:04Towns to the rim.
44:05Throws it up.
44:06And he gets the roll.
44:08Timeout Brooklyn.
44:09An 8-0 New York run has put the Knicks in front by 5.
44:14And Bronson who has struggled all evening.
44:18Let's take a look at the grandeur, the splendor, the maestro.
44:22Having a virtuoso ending here.
44:25Finding the cat off the glass.
44:28Yeah.
44:30And again, the Bronson weaving and achieving.
44:33Money in the bank.
44:35And then one more big shot by the captain.
44:38Isolating Wolfe.
44:40Stopping and popping.
44:42So Bronson propelling the Knicks down the stretch.
44:46The answer to 17-0 net run with an 8-0 burst of their own.
44:52Remember, Bronson missed the previous game.
44:54Showing a lot of rust tonight.
44:56It was only 5-15 before he roars here in the last two minutes.
45:01His motto, this team's motto is, we will find a way.
45:06Or make a way.
45:11Tonight's built for tough play is presented by our local Ford stores.
45:15In a two-man game, working to perfection for the Knicks.
45:22Towns, hyperventilating, devastating.
45:28Hard to imagine where the Knicks would be without Carl Anthony Towns tonight.
45:32Or that man.
45:34Just in time, Jalen Bronson has arrived on the scene.
45:4016 points, and it's going to be his fifth consecutive game with at least eight assists.
45:45Yeah, he leads them in that category with six a game.
45:49Decent been scoring.
45:5026 a game.
45:55Mike Brown in search of his 500th career win as head coach.
45:59He's going to have to earn it tonight.
46:02Let's try to break a ghastly 13-game losing streak to the Knicks.
46:08They've got hot hands all over the floor during that 17-0 run.
46:12Who will they look to here in crutch time?
46:15Decent! Decent!
46:17Char, I couldn't get rid of it.
46:19It'll take Towns to the rim, and he forced another miss.
46:22A two-way masterpiece from Carl Anthony Towns tonight in Brooklyn.
46:26Towns had him hurrying and worrying that time.
46:29Tough pass caught by Diora.
46:32Sent to it, Bronson.
46:34Towns with some room.
46:35Looking around Diora.
46:37Out to Towns, left wing three.
46:41Long rebounds, Zaraf will let it go out of bounds.
46:44And just enough time ticked off for the shot clock to turn off,
46:48which does help the Knicks.
46:49The Knicks don't want to foul.
46:50They have no fouls to give.
46:51Deny the three ball.
46:54The Knicks have held the Nets scoreless the last three and a half minutes.
46:58They will allow for an easy two there for Diora,
47:01but now Brooklyn has to foul.
47:05Bridges in his old building will get to the free throw line.
47:09They had one to give, though, so it will not be Bridges unless they foul him again.
47:13Yeah, we have to go through the same process, which helped the Knicks.
47:17Just a few more seconds, she'll tick off the clock.
47:27That was the sixth foul on Danny Wilt, so he's out of the game.
47:31And the Knicks will take a timeout with 12.1 to go.
47:38Not out of the woods yet.
47:40Not yet.
47:41Holding on.
47:43Stay tuned after the game for highlights, analysis, and player reaction to tonight's game
47:48on the Audi Knicks postgame.
47:49Coming up next on MSG with Bill Pito, Alan Hahn, and Monica McNutt.
47:55Here we go.
48:02Early on, the Knicks trailed by 13.
48:05That was in the second quarter.
48:07But then they kicked it into gear late in the second and early in the third,
48:11and it started to feel like a party atmosphere in here for all these Knicks fans.
48:16Yep, the Nets would not go away.
48:18It was a pressure cooker for most of the fourth quarter.
48:22That's after the Knicks went over five minutes without a hoop.
48:24It was a 17-0 run over six and a half minutes for Brooklyn as the Knicks continue
48:31what was supposed to be a pretty favorable schedule.
48:34They're hoping for their fifth consecutive win.
48:36They get the Wizards on Sunday, and then the Pelicans on Tuesday,
48:39who have really struggled this year, but they've actually won five of their last six.
48:43So a nice run for New Orleans.
48:45But then things get very tough, Clyde.
48:47Four-game road trip.
48:48The Hornets are as hot as anybody.
48:50You know all about the Thunder and OKC.
48:52That's a Sunday trip.
48:53And then a back-to-back with the Rockets and the Grizzlies.
48:56And the Knicks certainly hope to have Josh Hart ready to go for that tough stretch.
49:00And I hear Deuce is seeing some action, too.
49:03Some contact work.
49:04Right.
49:04Took some shots before the game today looking very spry.
49:07Yeah.
49:08And what a difference that could be for the postseason if you can have increased optionality with Deuce McBride available.
49:14Tyler Coleck's first touch of the night will be an inbound pass to Brunson.
49:18And he's able to keep it away from Obagi and then draw a foul on Traore with 10.5 to
49:23go.
49:24So the captain distinguished himself down the stretch.
49:28Two big hoops and a nice two-man game with towels to score.
49:35Here comes Deuce McBride with a core muscle injury that they only discovered when he was getting checked out for
49:41an ankle tweak.
49:43The goal has always been, in his words, to get back in time for the postseason.
49:48But, of course, every second he's able to play before the playoffs will just be a benefit to team chemistry
49:55and getting him back in rhythm.
49:56As Jalen Brunson, it's a very important first free throw to make it a two-possession game.
50:00Towns should get a nice ovation coming out going to the bench.
50:0626 points, 15 rebounds, 11 of 11 from the free throw line.
50:11I think these Knicks fans are still too nervous to give him the ovation he deserves.
50:15It's still very much in the balance.
50:17Nets have a timeout left.
50:20It has instead turned to MVP chance for Jalen Brunson.
50:29This is the second.
50:30He's two for four from the line tonight.
50:33Now it's Traore.
50:34Transition three is good.
50:365.4 to go.
50:38It's a one-point game.
50:40And before the inbound, Mike Brown will use the Knicks' final timeout.
50:47You got to deny the three, folks.
50:50This kid hasn't done anything all evening, but still you just can't let him come up like that.
50:56And this is why.
50:58Because if he makes it, you're in our strengths and away.
51:01See Brunson just dropping back.
51:04There's the Swiss.
51:06Previously Brunson missed the second free throw.
51:11And obviously the Knicks still in control.
51:13They're talking it over.
51:15And we'll see what they come up with to try to preserve the victory here.
51:18Now because they used their final timeout, the Knicks no longer have access to that second challenge.
51:25Watch out.
51:26Watch out.
51:27Watch out Brooklyn.
51:28They have to get the ball in.
51:30And the big benefit for Brooklyn is because they have a timeout, even if they foul and the Knicks hit
51:35two free throws,
51:36Brooklyn calls a timeout.
51:37They advance the ball to the front court and they could have themselves a chance at an inbound play in
51:42a game-tying three.
51:44Yeah.
51:44Big swing there with the second missed free throw from Brunson.
51:47And then the first three of the night from Nolan Traore, who was two for ten from the field before
51:54that big match.
51:57Yeah, Barry and that provided Nets, but obviously, well, I guess they can still get moral victories.
52:05They're learning, still in the learning process.
52:08This game should give them confidence.
52:11They might not play well.
52:13You guys will Williams play well.
52:18They've used ten different players tonight, Clyde, and they've all played between 19 and 27 minutes.
52:25They're throwing waves of guys out there looking to see if someone can catch fire.
52:30Well, they have Josh Minot tonight, six of nine from three.
52:33Another big inbound here for Tyler Kolek.
52:35They want to get to Brunson, but he's not open.
52:38It's Towns instead.
52:39He's getting grabbed by Traore, and they will get Towns to the free throw line.
52:45Well, he's 11-4-11.
52:49And not much time ticked off the clock there.
52:52Four-point-nine remaining.
52:56That was the sixth foul on Traore, so the second net rookie to foul out tonight.
53:07Got four fouls on Johnson, Minot, and for the Knicks, Towns.
53:19First free throw from Towns.
53:22In and out.
53:28Win number 500 is not going to come easy for Mike Brown tonight.
53:34Well, that eliminates the do you foul up three conversation.
53:45Missed them both.
53:47Diora fighting for the rebound.
53:48It's secured by Sarapan.
53:50A timeout from Brooklyn with two-point-nine remaining.
53:54Wow.
53:56And the clock sickens.
54:00Three straight missed free throws from the Knicks All-Stars.
54:04One from Brunson and two from Towns.
54:06Towns was 11-for-11, folks.
54:10Now the Knicks still control their own destiny, but a precarious controlling as they need to stop.
54:19Towns obviously frustrated.
54:2111-for-11 before those two misses.
54:27And he's your player of the game if the Knicks hang on either way.
54:33Stay tuned after the game for highlights analysis and player reaction to the nice game on the Audi Knicks postgame
54:39coming up next on MSG.
54:41Now the rebound took two seconds off the clock.
54:46So it'll have to be a relatively quick shot for Brooklyn.
54:50But now they've got all kinds of options because, of course, they don't need a three-pointer.
54:56Minot has been the lethal guy with the three ball.
54:59Wolf has fouled out.
55:02Williams has not been out there.
55:04I don't think he had been out there.
55:06So who will they go to for this big shot?
55:12Josh Minot nine points in the fourth quarter.
55:15He had three three-pointers in a row.
55:18They might look to get a quick two.
55:23There's Minot.
55:27Neither team has a timeout.
55:30So it's coming down to this.
55:34Knicks had a 14-point lead earlier in the fourth quarter.
55:39It's down to one.
55:42Everybody on their feet.
55:47Pressure.
55:48Pressure's still on the Nets.
55:49They've got to get it in bounds.
55:51Powell with the inbounds.
55:52It comes to Johnson.
55:54Tipped by Robinson.
55:54That'll tick a few extra tenths of a second off the clock.
55:58So 1.5 to go.
56:00Yeah, good job by Rob.
56:02But you don't want to reach over the back of guys and get a foul called against you.
56:06And now instead of the foul line extended, it's a mid-court inbounds.
56:09Sorof needs a prayer.
56:10He from half court.
56:12He missed it.
56:13And the Knicks survive with their 14th consecutive win over the Brooklyn Nets and career win number 500 for Mike
56:21Brown.
56:22Wow.
56:22Dramatic emphatic play.
56:24Good job by Robinson taking precious seconds off the shot clock.
56:29And then the ill-advised shot that was short by the Nets.
56:34And apparently the only pass available was into the backcourt, Clyde.
56:39They really put themselves up against the ropes with 1.5 to go, needing a 60-foot shot.
56:46Yep.
56:49And the Knicks had to earn it.
56:51Let's take a look.
56:53See, good job by Bridges.
56:55He could not get any momentum on the shot, so it was very short.
57:02High water mark for the Knicks.
57:0421 games over 500.
57:06They've won five in a row.
57:08And once again, they are one game back of Boston for second place in the Eastern Conference.
57:14The Knicks don't win this game without Carl Anthony Towns.
57:1726 points, 15 boards.
57:18How did you guys pull this one off tonight?
57:20I mean, I'll be honest with you.
57:22I'm a little sleepover tonight.
57:24I can't believe those two went like that.
57:26But glad we got the win.
57:29Yeah.
57:31Just, you know, shout out to my pops, man.
57:33He told me to come play today.
57:36Super excited.
57:37I know I was questionable.
57:38I didn't think I was going to play.
57:40But shout out to my pops, man.
57:41My pops told me to come out here and play.
57:43He wanted to watch.
57:44I damn sure know he didn't want to see me do those two free throws like that.
57:47So we'll talk about it later.
57:49But I know you're watching, pops.
57:50Love you, man.
57:51I know you're recovering.
57:53I'm going to be back with you in a sec.
57:55Congratulations, Towns, on the way you've been playing, man, the last couple of weeks.
57:58You've really been magnificent, especially your defense.
58:02Yeah.
58:02I think you've been intimidated nicely now against Spill and Trader.
58:05Yeah, no, just, you know, it's a season, man, and getting more accustomed to the new system, new coaching, and,
58:14you know, just do a better job in my role, where my role is this year.
58:18So I'm just happy that I have a chance to impact winning every night, and I've been able to do
58:23that recently, especially at a higher level.
58:24You've done a lot of the little things that add up to winning, but you had some big moments, especially
58:29when the Knicks were down.
58:30You took it to the rim.
58:31You hit 11 free throws to start the game.
58:33But what made the difference for you guys to turn things around?
58:36Yeah, the problem was the last two.
58:37I don't know what the hell happened.
58:38I got it in and out, and I don't know what.
58:40I thought the second one was even better than the first one.
58:42So, but, you know, inexpensive, expensive lesson, right?
58:46You know, you miss those two free throws, obviously you don't want to miss.
58:50But to come out with a win was an inexpensive, expensive lesson, you know, stay locked in and just continue
58:55to find ways to score.
58:56Are you cognizant that, Mike, this was the coach's 500 career win?
59:01No, I didn't know that.
59:02I ain't gonna lie to you.
59:04Clyde, I've had a very long day.
59:06I've had a long day yesterday.
59:08I had a very long day today.
59:10I wasn't with the team.
59:11I was taking care of my family.
59:13And, yeah, I showed up just to play.
59:16I showed up just to play.
59:17I wanted to play for my teammates.
59:18I didn't want to, you know, I wanted to play.
59:20I wanted to be here for them.
59:20My dad was on the same type of time with the little strength he had.
59:23So, he wanted me to come play.
59:25And I'm happy that I was able to play.
59:28We're all happy you.
59:30Shout out to my pops, man.
59:32Love you, man.
59:32Carl, all the best to you and your family.
59:34Thanks so much.
59:34Yeah, appreciate it, man.
59:35The Knicks win it 93-92.
59:40And Carl Anthony Towns was questionable.
59:44Personal reasons entering this game.
59:46He powered through.
59:47A lot of adversity.
59:4926 points, 15 rebounds.
59:51And the Knicks win their fifth game in a row.
59:5593-9 to do the final in Brooklyn.
59:57We'll wrap it up when we come back.
