The biggest part of New York's success, though, came through their passing prowess. The Knicks recorded 37 assists on the night and left Indiana searching for answers.

The Knicks guard didn’t get past the first round Saturday after rushing through his final rack as time was running low. He finished with 18 points, and Miami’s Tyler Herro emerged as a first-time champion by beating Golden State’s Buddy Hield in the final.

Brunson will never forget the first chance he had to win a game. It's helped him make the clutch shots, including Wednesday against Atlanta.
