To continue our countdown of the Best 20 Knicks Games of the Leon Rose Era, Jonathan Macri, Andrew Claudio & DJ Zullo look back to a game near the end of the 2022-23 season where Jalen Brunson (48 PTS) outdueling Donovan Mitchell (42 PTS) would both set the stage for New York dominance over Cleveland in this matchup during this era AND give us all a glimpse of the superstar that the Knicks eventual captain (and Finals MVP) will one day become.
