In the extra period, New York's 26 combined points to Denver's 19 proved decisive.

Brunson's scoring and floor management were complemented by Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points, 12 rebounds) and OG Anunoby (20 points, 8 rebounds). Denver countered with Jamal Murray's 39 points and 6 assists, plus Nikola Jokić's all-around 30-point, 14-rebound, 10-assist performance. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 19 points off the bench. The Knicks' recent run—113.4 points per game over their last ten—met Denver's struggling defense (110.3 allowed), and the collision produced a shootout that extended five quarters.
