New York welcomes the NBA Finals night as the Knicks return to their home court after 27 years.

June 8th - According to ESPN, the NBA Finals are about to enter Game 3, with the New York Knicks hosting their first Finals home game since 1999 at Madison Square Garden. Despite the city's excited atmosphere, team leader Jalen Brunson remains as calm and focused as ever.

The Knicks currently lead the NBA Finals 2-0 against the San Antonio Spurs, needing only two wins to secure their first championship trophy since 1973. However, Brunson emphasized that the series is far from over, and the team cannot afford to let their guard down because of their lead.

“ In the second game, we were up by 14 points at one point, but our opponents fought back and took the lead, which shows just how good they are, ” Brunson said.

Despite shooting only 34% from the field in the first two games of the Finals , teammate Anunoby still has confidence in Brunson. " Whether he makes or misses, he always stays calm and aggressive, that's what makes him special. "

Head coach Mike Brown recalled his apprehension about Brunson during the 2022 Western Conference Finals. " Back then, my biggest worry wasn't Doncic, but Brunson. We even assigned Draymond Green to guard him because we needed a taller, tougher player to limit him. "

Facing the upcoming historic moment, Brunson remained unaffected by external emotions. When asked if he would enjoy it all, he gave a short but firm answer: " We'll see after it's all over. "
