At one point in the game, the home crowd showered the Knicks superstar with MVP chants as they witnessed another special performance from the 6-foot-2 guard. When asked to share his reaction to the outpouring of support, Brunson just had to shoutout the New York faithful:
“This place has been nothing but special for me,” he said. “I appreciate everything they do. It’s really cool to hear, but I just knew I had to get my mind in the right place.”
"This place has been nothing but special for me… I appreciate everything they do."

Brunson and the Knicks should expect a much more hostile crowd now that this series is headed to Indiana for Games 3 and 4. Tyrese Haliburton and Co. may be down, but they sure as hell are not out just yet.
