PHOENIX — You think of Tom Thibodeau, you think of defense.
It’s like Thanksgiving and turkey. One without the other is a failure in the system.
Yet here Thibs’ Knicks reside — 15 games into the 2024-25 campaign — with an elite offense, a subpar defense, a four-game winning streak on the back of motion/ball movement and a 9-6 record before Saturday’s matchup in Utah.
Jalen Brunson defends against Malcolm Brogdon during the Knicks win over the Wizards. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post“Offensively, we’re getting into a really good rhythm,” Josh Hart said. “And now defensively, we have to make sure that we continue to improve. And if we make that jump, we’ll be a force.”
