How different could feel.
How different could the postseason perspectives of the Knicks appear if Jays Tatum received a foul before his game 3 was launched? If that attempt hit iron? If the Josh Hart’s winning answer was good? If Jalen Brunson did not miss a couple or 3s in the last 64 seconds of extra time? If Mikal Bridges did not abandon the limits?
How different the emotion would be today? How much higher the ceiling of the equipment would seem? How much more important would it be to believe that the best is still ahead?
“That is why you have to fight to win all the possessions due to the thesis games end up being a game of a possession,” said the Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, after the overtime defeat 119-117 on Tuesday against the Celtics. “The point is that every game you learn something. That is what we take from the game, what we did, what we can learn and what we can do better, and keep. Take everything step by step.”
