Regarding the team's performance, Downs said: "Facing against the Celtics." In the last game, we finally showed what a team that can stay focused for 48 minutes should be. Now we have to find a way to do this in every game. This is the moment we need to be in the best shape."

Speaking of our first season with Mikal Bridges at the Knicks, Towns said: "It is not easy to succeed in New York, and not everyone can do it. We can get to where we are brave enough to meet the challenges." ”

"There is more work to be done, but sometimes it is necessary to take a step back, cherish your current position, look back on the path you came, and be clear that your goals have not been achieved yet."
