The New York Knicks were pretty close to finishing off the Philadelphia 76ers two days ago.
They let a six-point lead slip with less than 30 seconds left, and that could come back to haunt them.
Now, they’re trying to get the job done in a hostile environment as the series heads back to the City of Brotherly Love for Game 6.
Considering that, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green revealed how the Knicks can take care of business.
Talking on his podcast, the former Defensive Player of the Year argued that he doesn’t necessarily love the ball-dominant Jalen Brunson (via The Volume).
“I think Jalen has to get everybody else involved”

Green argued that it was easier for the Sixers to guard Brunson because they knew he was going to shoot every single time.
That way, they could either collapse the paint to keep him away from the rim or allow him to go downhill and keep everybody else in check.
Green thinks that Donte DiVincenzo can take some pressure off his shoulders if he keeps him involved, adding that Brunson needs to get everybody touches and the offense going.
Brunson took eight of the team’s ten shots in overtime.
He’s proven that he can be a volume shooter and dominant scorer, but he shouldn’t go away from what worked for him and got him to this place.
The Sixers are no easy rival whatsoever, but the Knicks don’t need to make it any tougher on themselves either.
