Breanna Stewart talks about the Liberty knowing team efforts are needed late in the season: "We want to hit first. Really being aggressive...we did a good job moving the defense...Some nights it's going to be like that, some nights it's going to be other people. We're all really aware of that"

Chris DeMarco on the Liberty's bench: "It's massive. If we want to get to where we want to get to, it's going to take everybody. They're proving that right now, our bench has a ton of confidence." Shouted out Marinè Johannes' performance

Flau'Jae Johnson is absolutely relentless on both sides of the basketball. I really need someone to tell-all about what the hell happened with Golden State.

Wrap this one up. Storm just threw it out of bounds down 91-78 with 2:38 left. Would take a miracle/disaster...

Liberty call timeout after their lead is cut to three. It's 70-67 as the Storm, led by Flau'Jae Johnson's 20 points, have kept this interesting. Sabrina Ionescu has 18 points, 5 assists on 7-9 FG, 4-5 3PT. But she's also up to four fouls

Finish of the night thus far goes to Flau'jae Johnson's up and under. She's up to 17 points on 6-11 FG. Johnson is just 1-4 from downtown, but 4-5 from the free throw line. Getting bucket buckets.

HALF: Liberty 50, Storm 43 New York came out hot and led by as many as 17. Seattle has either played terribly or mediocrely — very little in between. When the mediocre lined up with the Liberty's messy offense, the game got tight. Ionescu, Hiedeman have 15 points, 3 3PM each

Levels between the Liberty and Storm. New York isn't playing necessarily impressive basketball. Some nice passes, some tough finishes — mostly just feasting off breakdowns and mistakes. Seattle has players thriving individually in flashes but hasn't looked very connected

END Q1: Liberty 28, Storm 18 Sabrina Ionescu's in charge, with 11 points and 2 assists on 4-5 FG (3-4 3PT). Natisha Hiedeman has two 3PM for 8 pts. Did miss Dom Malonga wide open under the rim, though. The second-year center has yet to take a shot

The Knicks lost their Spurs double-agent on Saturday when Jeremy Sochan signed with a new team: dailyknicks.com/knicks-bewar...

Knicks must beware their championship-winning double agent next season

The Knicks need to watch out for the Trail Blazers next year. Jeremy Sochan just signed there, giving them the inside information New York had about the Spurs.

Incoming Knicks rookie Jack Kayil might become unexpectedly important at work: dailyknicks.com/knicks-jack-...

Knicks rookie Jack Kayil could become unexpectedly important to title defense

The Knicks could technically solve their lack of a third-string center by swapping Tyler Kolek out for Jack Kayil. It'd be a lot for the rookie to handle.

The Eastern Conference is built to win, but not to last. Explored why extending Karl-Anthony Towns could set the Knicks up as a powerhouse for years to come: dailyknicks.com/knicks-karl-...

Knicks are a Karl-Anthony Towns extension away from being a potential dynasty

The Knicks can set themselves up as an Eastern Conference dynasty if they simply extend Karl-Anthony Towns. How hard can that be? Right?

The Knicks' path to true center depth could require a painful goodbye: dailyknicks.com/knicks-path-...

Knicks' path to center depth could involve some creative destruction

By trading Tyler Kolek, the Knicks could address their need for a third-string center and replace him immediately with standout rookie Jack Kayil.

The Pacers are getting slept on as a threat to New York's title defense. They're betting on continuity, just like the Knicks: dailyknicks.com/knicks-affor...

Knicks can't afford to overlook Pacers' threat to 2027 back-to-back bid

The Knicks need to keep an eye out for Tyrese Haliburton's Indiana Pacers. They're primed to give them trouble, much like the rest of the Eastern Conference.

LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo have plenty in common. They're both NBA superstars, Finals MVPs, and playing for new teams because they took the Knicks for granted: dailyknicks.com/lebron-joins...

LeBron joins Giannis on very top of Knicks' offseason reject pile

The Knicks are too good for Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James. Don't believe it? Just look up the 76ers and Heat rosters. You'll know some names on there.

dailyknicks.com

I’m on the Spurs in MyCareer and we’re on a Finals collision course with the Knicks. Uh oh.

Simply asking if LeBron is the best player on the 76ers is getting me the most slurs/DM since I used to defend Julius Randle’s rough nights. Missed you, Philadelphia.

There is no path home that does not demand a price. Landry Shamet, however, chose to pay it. It makes the Knicks look smarter by the day: dailyknicks.com/knicks-landr...

Knicks' Landry Shamet signing looks even better every single day

As NBA free agency rages on, it's becoming easy to forget Landry Shamet's new deal with the Knicks. It's well worth remembering, though.

Giannis only wanted the Knicks, finally chose the Heat as plan B LeBron would've been a Knick but they won a title, so he chose the 76ers (who NY just swept) SGA got to Team Canada camp, said he wanted to play off-ball, Wemby took a paycut like Brunson It's the summer of Leon

By recruiting LeBron James, Jalen Brunson could have put the Knicks on Rich Paul's whiteboard. The Captain, who thinks we forgot where Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges play, said roster moves were above his paygrade: dailyknicks.com/lebron-james...

LeBron James clearly didn’t get Jalen Brunson’s blessing to join Knicks

The Knicks never made it to LeBron James' free agency whiteboard, despite connections to Leon Rose, seemingly because captain Jalen Brunson didn't want them to.
