Overview

  • New York’s season ended with a 108-125 loss to Indiana in Game 6, marking its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years.
  • Defensive lapses against Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam allowed the Pacers to score over 125 points in multiple games.
  • All six starters—Brunson, Anunoby, Hart, Bridges, Towns and Robinson—and coach Tom Thibodeau are under contract for next season.
  • The front office is weighing trades of high-salary players and eyeing veteran targets such as Al Horford to bolster bench depth.
  • Jalen Brunson declared he’s “overconfident” in this group’s ability to challenge for a championship next season.
