Description
I've been watching the Knicks' defense closely, and their three-point struggles aren't just bad luck. Josh Hart and Brunson keep providing early help one pass away when their teammates are already in good position. This leaves shooters wide open for easy catch-and-shoot opportunities. Against players like Klay Thompson, you can't go under screens and give him clean looks. The help is coming too early and too aggressively, creating more problems than it solves. When you're already allowing the third-highest opponent three-point percentage, these fundamental breakdowns become magnified.
