This week in Knicks talk

The shows spent the week on the Knicks as legitimate Eastern Conference contenders, with particular praise for Jalen Brunson's dominant playoff performances and the team's unselfish style. Karl-Anthony Towns extension negotiations have emerged as a quiet but complicated issue, complicated further by early friction between Towns and coach Mike Brown over his offensive role and the strain it puts on the team's cap situation.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

3 clips · 7 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton.
