00:00Here's Brunson on himself and the Knicks getting it done in in crunch time.

00:06It's a focus that I need to have at that moment.

00:11You can't really worry about what happened previously in the game.

00:17It's all about just focusing and having a clear mind and just trying to win the game.

00:20That's just my mindset and I wouldn't be that way without my teammates.

00:26Yeah, whatever. I don't know anything.

00:29They all played well.

00:31I mean, we've already gone down the litany of guides that showed up and produced.

00:35Hart was his usual self on another level.

00:38I thought Cat was, you know, a monster.

00:42And I got to give credit to Mitchell Robinson, who I think is the worst free throw shooter I've ever seen in my life.

00:48But, you know, people making fun of his air balls and everything else.

00:52But man, that guy, six points, eight rebounds, three steals.

00:58He was diving on loose balls at midcourt, 50-50 balls, then winning the jump ball.

01:05I thought he was playing out of his mind.

01:07And he was altering shots, big rebounds.

01:12He contributed in a massive way to that win last night.

01:16And, you know, when he's out there, they foul him and put him on a line.

01:19And it's so crazy.

01:21You know he's going to miss.

01:22But they stay behind him.

01:25I mean, Thibodeau stands behind him.

01:27They leave him out there.

01:29They took him out at the right time last night to get Ananobi back in that game at the end so that he wouldn't be anywhere near that foul line.

01:38And I thought Brunson knocking down the two big free throws was key.

01:40I mean, those are tough free throws.
