Knicks struggle offensively without Jalen Brunson, lose

The New York Knicks lost 105-95 to the Los Angeles Clippers without star player Jalen Brunson, who is sidelined for at least two weeks due to a sprained ankle. The Knicks struggled offensively, scoring only 10 points in the final seven minutes. This defeat marks the Knicks' second loss in their five-game West Coast trip, bringing their current losing streak to three games. They shot just 39 percent overall and 27 percent from three-point range, with several players underperforming. Brunson's absence was felt as the team failed to maintain momentum after a strong start. The Knicks previously went 1-4 without him last season, highlighting the challenge they face in his absence.
