The offense has been spectacular, the defense has been anything but, and it has added up to a 6-6 record after Jalen Brunson hit a game-winner to defeat the Brooklyn Nets, 124-122 on Friday. New York didn't make it easy on itself.

Mikal Bridges, the former Net traded across the bridge for a boatload of picks, followed with a game-saving rejection on a layup attempt by Dennis Schroder and the Knicks wildly celebrated a victory that became way too close for comfort.
