Jalen Brunson was happy with Friday night’s result, but his own performance is still not up to his own admittedly high expectations. “My mentality has to be better,” the Knicks’ point guard said after the team’s dominant 116-94 victory over the Bucks at the Garden. “I haven’t been satisfied individually…
Matt Ryan took a picture of the home Knicks jersey hanging in his locker Friday afternoon and immediately texted it to his mom, Laurie. The Westchester native and Iona Prep product scored three points in five minutes late in a blowout win over the Bucks in his Garden debut for…
BOSTON — The Nets respect the Celtics and how they play but aren’t trying to emulate or imitate the reigning champs as much as beat them and carve out their own winning identity. Friday’s crusher was a tough lesson on the road, dropping a 108-104 overtime heartbreaker before a typically…
