New York Knicks Start 0-3 After Orlando Magic Defeat
The New York Knicks dropped to a 0-3 record to start the NBA regular season following a defeat against the Orlando Magic, prompting Jalen Brunson to take full responsibility for the team’s slow start.
Brunson led all scorers with 28 points in the matchup but struggled from the field, shooting 28 times and hitting just 1 of 7 attempts from beyond the arc. As a team, New York ranks as the 29th offense in the league through three games, outscoring only Charlotte.

“The responsibility falls on my shoulders,” Brunson said. “I just need to be a better leader in this sense, making sure my teammates are ready to take the field in the right way.”
“When the things work and we start to look like the team we were in the past, we settle on our laurels,” Brunson said. “Instead, we must continue to push on the accelerator and play like we did last year.”
Coach Brown Demands Focus on Details
New York coach Brown addressed the team’s struggles directly, vowing to enforce stricter standards during practice sessions to clean up execution errors.

“We must continue to focus on the small details,” Brown stated. “At the moment we are terrible, it’s true. And we are the only ones who can do something to change.”
