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.

To begin our countdown of the Top 20 Knicks Games of the Leon Rose Era, Jonathan Macri & Andrew Claudio go back to the Knicks series clinching win over the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 2024 Playoffs, which featured a 41-point performance from Jalen Brunson, huge shot making from Donte DiVincenzo & a mount rush more game from Josh Hart who hit the go ahead 3 with 30 seconds to go. 

PROGRAMMING NOTE: This was originally our #20 but we have pivoted to make only ONE Knicks game per playoff series eligible. That way, we can include several regular season moments that encapsulate the entire rebirth of the franchise!
