New York, 52 years since their last NBA title, are now one game away from ending defending champion the Celtics’ season.

The New York Knicks are in control of the semifinal series against the Boston Celtics. But Knicks guard Jalen Brunson still believes that the team isn't playing their best basketball yet.

Mazzulla, Brown and Horford all said that Boston didn't play up to its standard defensively. This is true, particularly in the second half. But both sides of the floor are connected, and Mazzulla pointed out that the Knicks were able to play with pace in part because of the Celtics' poor offensive execution.
