The Knicks lost, 115-112, to the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime, couldn’t quite finish off what would have been a remarkable first chapter of this 2022-23 season.
The ball was in the air, and it looked true, and the way things had gone it sure seemed Evan Fournier was about to buy the Knicks five extra minutes of basketball on opening night. The way things had gone, the way the Knicks had fought, why wouldn’t he keep the folks at FedExForum in their seats for another five minutes?The Knicks lost, 115-112, to the Memphis Grizzlies in overtimeDown 19 in the third quarter, down three with 3.3 seconds left in regulation, they still had a shot.
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams, left, and guard Ja Morant and Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein try to get possession of the ball.There was so much to like across the game’s 53 minutes. Jalen Brunson started slowly, played brilliantly in the fourth quarter, had good numbers — 15 points, nine assists, zero turnovers — and ran Thibodeau’s offense as if he’d been running it his whole career.
Not this time. Not this year. This time the ball was whipped around to the corner for a good shot. This is what Brunson brings to the equation, and it was evident all game long. And there is Brunson. He isn’t the electric guitar solo that Ja Morant is — Morant had 34 points and nine assists, though he also had six turnovers. But he’s a damn fine acoustic guitarist, exactly what the Knicks craved. On the last play of regulation, Morant lifted off for one of his patented Iverson 2.0 moves. Brunson coaxed him into a charge instead.
