The New York Knicks have had many struggles in recent weeks. They have suffered all kinds of losses that should not have happened. It has not been a good run for the Knicks, but a historic margin of victory could lead to a massive shift.
As the leader and best player for this team, Jalen Brunson has been at the forefront of getting past this recent stretch. He knows the Knicks are talented enough to put this behind them, so he thinks this win was a good step.
The Knicks want positive momentum
After weeks of lackluster performances, the Knicks managed to pull off a historic win. They beat the Brooklyn Nets by 54 points, the largest margin of victory in the Knicks’ history. That should be a good result for the Knicks, as they snapped a losing streak.
However, the Knicks must not get ahead of themselves. At the end of the day, this was only one win in their record. They can celebrate it, but it should be a tone-setter for the rest of the season.

The Knicks are capable of so much more, especially with their roster. Brunson is the best player, but they also have Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby.
It is one of the most stacked teams in the league. That is why Brunson is adamant that this should only be the first step in the right direction for the Knicks.
“We just have to be focused and get back to who we are. This is a good step for us, but we’ve got to continue to press the issue of getting better every single day,” Brunson said after the win against the Nets.
This is a good result at the end of the day, but the Knicks want more. Their fans want more. Expectations are high this season, and they must step up to the plate to meet or even surpass them.
There is a lot of season left, so the Knicks want to get the best form possible. It will be challenging, but they have all the personnel to surprise people.
