The New York Post released its player report card for the New York Knicks following Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals on June 14. The assessment placed special emphasis on point guard Jalen Brunson, noting that his performance left the publication “without words” and earned him the day’s top marks.
According to the outlet, Brunson’s shot-creation, late-game poise and overall command of the offense set him apart from the rest of the roster. Other Knicks received a range of grades reflecting individual contributions on both ends of the floor, while the coaching staff was also evaluated for strategy and in-game adjustments.
The report card was published the morning after Game 5, offering a snapshot of how each player fared as the championship series moved deeper into its best-of-seven format.
