In a recent preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks lost 122-104 despite Jalen Brunson scoring a team-high 20 points. Coach Mike Brown is deliberately simplifying his offensive strategies to test players' abilities under pressure and evaluate their execution of counters when opponents adjust their defenses. Off the bench, Tony Bradley contributed efficiently with 10 points in seven minutes, going 5-for-5 from the field, while Pacôme Dadiet added seven points and was 2-for-3 on long-distance shots. Notably, none of the Knicks' starters are expected to play in their upcoming game Tuesday against Toronto, as it follows a back-to-back schedule. Despite losing three straight preseason games and being outscored by 43 points, Brown remains focused on the team's development process rather than immediate results.
