The New York Knicks stumbled again on Jan. 9, falling to the Phoenix Suns in a rough road defeat that hinged on a late miss by point guard Jalen Brunson.
With the game still within reach in the final moments at Footprint Center, Brunson’s potential go-ahead attempt came up short, sealing another frustrating loss for a Knicks squad that has struggled to close out games this season.
The setback continues a difficult stretch for New York, which has labored to find consistency on both ends of the floor. Phoenix capitalized on the Knicks’ cold shooting and miscues, pulling away in an otherwise low-scoring, physical matchup.
No further statistical details were immediately released, but the defeat underscores New York’s ongoing challenges as the regular season reaches its midpoint.
