Brunson can finish more Knicks possessions without starting them

In a recent NBA Cup game, Indiana Pacers secured a 106-104 victory over the New York Knicks. Jalen Brunson, playing as the team's guard, scored 33 points and set up 11 baskets during the 35-minute game. However, Brunson faced challenges in getting the ball without starting possessions, which could be improved. Indiana's Karl-Anthony Towns, another guard, contributed 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists in the game.

Brunson's performance, while impressive, did not guarantee a win for the Knicks, as they still lost the match. The report suggests that incorporating Towns into more Knicks possessions by initiating them at the elbow and handing the ball to Brunson after the defense moves could create better offensive opportunities.
