"Knicks' Jalen Brunson shines as Kevin Durant throws shade on Quentin Grimes"

Kevin Durant expressed frustration with Quentin Grimes' performance, criticizing his lack of dribbling, free throws, and assists. Grimes, who recently moved to the second unit, has been given more opportunities and has improved his numbers. The Suns suffered their fourth loss in five games against the Knicks. Tom Thibodeau's center rotation without Mitchell Robinson has Jericho Sims starting, Isaiah Hartenstein getting significant minutes, and Taj Gibson as insurance. Hartenstein recorded a season-high three blocks. Despite the analytics suffering with Sims in the starting lineup, Thibodeau prioritizes the team's record and overall impact.

"Knicks face do-or-die Game 6 against Heat with key players in doubt and long-shot odds"

Mitchell Robinson made a tiny adjustment to his pre-shot routine and knocked down three of four free throws after the Miami Heat intentionally fouled him in Game 5. The Knicks' Quentin Grimes played with speed and quick decision-making, helping the team's run to begin the second half. Obi Toppin's entrance in the second quarter also triggered an 18-2 New York run, with the Knicks hammering Heat sharpshooter Duncan Robinson. RJ Barrett continued his efficient scoring streak, while Jalen Brunson's defensive matchup will be something to watch in Game 6.
