Knicks’ Game 3 Out of Reach Long Before Brunson’s Late Errors
SLUG: knicks-game-3-out-of-reach-early-before-brunson-errors
The New York Knicks dropped Game 3 on April 24, 2026, and team observers say the contest was effectively decided well before guard Jalen Brunson committed a series of late-game miscues.
Although Brunson’s errors in the closing minutes drew immediate attention, the Knicks were already in a deep deficit that proved impossible to erase. Early lapses on both ends of the floor left New York chasing the score for most of the night, creating an ominous tone long before the final buzzer.
The loss places additional pressure on the Knicks as they prepare for the next matchup in the series, with little time to address the problems that surfaced early in Game 3.
