It’s been the story of the Knicks’ season. The opposition so frequently has had a superstar and they don’t.
The Grizzlies and Ja Morant presented yet another reminder Sunday night. Despite a herculean effort by Jalen Brunson and a strong all-around performance from the Knicks, Morant was just too much down the stretch.
After an uneven first half, Morant was his typical terrific self, finishing with 27 points and 14 assists, and Dillon Brooks added 23. Brunson did all he could on a night he was a game-time decision with a quad contusion, notching 30 points and nine assists. RJ Barrett scored 22 points and Julius Randle had 14 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. The Knicks fell to 9-11 and have still yet to defeat a solid foe at home.
But Tom Thibodeau’s team’s defense kept them in the game, and they relentlessly attacked, with 30 of their 52 first-half points coming in the paint. All 10 of Barrett’s points came on strong drives near the rim, and, despite being a game-time decision with a quad contusion, Brunson was the Knicks’ best player prior to the break. He had 10 points and five assists. Jalen Brunson dribbles against Ja Morant during the first half.
