On October 18th, the Knicks defeated the Hornets 113-108 in the NBA preseason. Afterward, Jalen Brunson was interviewed about the significance of the final preseason game.
Brunson said, "This is the best real-world experience you can get. You can do whatever you want in practice, but no matter how hard you try to simulate a game, it can't compare to the real thing."
Brunson played 33 minutes, shooting 12-for-25 from the field, including 5-for-12 from three-point range, for 31 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal.
