Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson praise Knicks resilience after beating Sixers in series opener

The 76ers strong defensive effort gave Jalen Brunson fits throughout Game 1 but teammate Josh Hart and the Knicks bench stepped up and played a vital role in the Knicks 111-104 win. Hart had 22 points and 13 rebounds but more importantly took advantage of the open looks the Sixers were giving him, Brunson dished out his own kudos to the bench, calling their play "phenomenal", especially on a night when he was held to 22 points.
