Can New York take one more step with Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns as their best players?

The Knicks had a strong season with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns leading the charge, racking up 51 wins and making it to the conference finals. But despite their offensive firepower, the team's defense—even with Mitchell Robinson in the mix—wasn't up to par when it really counted. The big question now is whether this core can tighten things up and take the next step toward a championship.
Editor’s Note: The Knicks are in an interesting spot—good enough to compete but with clear flaws that could hold them back. For fans, it’s a mix of optimism (they’ve got stars and wins) and frustration (defense wins championships, and they’re not quite there). This story matters because it sets the stage for whether New York can tweak their roster or scheme to become true title contenders—or if they’ll stay stuck in the "good but not great" tier.
