### The Shot Heard Around New York
With 14.6 seconds left and the game knotted at 101–101, the Knicks had possession. The arena — and the city — held its breath. The inbound went to Brunson, who calmly brought the ball upcourt, waving off the double screen. It was isolation time — just him and the defender, with the season hanging in the balance.
With four seconds left, Brunson took a hard dribble left, stopped on a dime, and launched a deep three over outstretched arms.
Splash.
The shot gave the Knicks a 104–101 lead with just 1.7 seconds left. The opposing team’s final heave missed wide, and with that, the Knicks won the series 4–2, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in over two decades.
The Garden erupted. Fans cried. Streets flooded with celebration. And from radios across the five boroughs and beyond, the words **“Knicks in Six!”** echoed through cars, bars, basements, and borough-wide watch parties.

### Tyler Murray and Monica McNutt: A Call for the Ages
The significance of a great sports moment is often elevated by the voices that deliver it. Tyler Murray and Monica McNutt did just that — providing a soundtrack that turned a basketball game into a Broadway-worthy performance.
Murray, a rising star in sports broadcasting, brought passion and poise, recognizing the magnitude of the moment and capturing it with clarity and excitement. McNutt, a former Georgetown standout and one of the most respected analysts in basketball media, brought insight and energy, turning analysis into art.
Their chemistry on the call was palpable. They didn’t just describe what happened — they *felt* it with us. Their broadcast became more than narration. It became an emotional experience.
“This is what we live for,” McNutt said afterward in a postgame segment. “This city, this team — we’ve waited a long time for this kind of moment. Jalen Brunson gave it to us. And you heard it live, raw, and real on 880AM.”

### Brunson: The Heartbeat of New York Basketball
Jalen Brunson’s game-winner didn’t just end a series. It cemented his place in Knicks history. Already hailed as a franchise savior and a modern-day floor general, Brunson has now added “clutch playoff assassin” to his ever-growing résumé.
In Game 6 alone, Brunson posted 38 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds — but it was his composure in the final minutes that truly set him apart. He controlled tempo, created space, and refused to be rattled. When everything was on the line, the Knicks didn’t run an elaborate play. They handed the ball to No. 11 and got out of the way.
From MSG to Harlem, from Staten Island to Syracuse, Brunson has become more than a player. He’s a symbol — of grit, growth, and greatness. And his legacy? It’s just beginning.

### Knicks Culture Reborn
Moments like these are why Knicks fans endure the hard years. Why they stay loyal through rebuilds and regime changes. Why they keep watching, keep showing up, keep believing.
Because when the team finally breaks through — when they give you *that* moment — it becomes something more than sports. It becomes cultural. Spiritual. Shared.
Brunson’s shot has already joined the pantheon of New York sports moments: Willis Reed limping onto the floor in 1970, Larry Johnson’s four-point play in 1999, John Starks dunking over the Bulls. Add *Brunson’s dagger in Game 6, 2025* to that list.
And once again, radio played a key role in preserving the heartbeat of the game. In an age of streaming and social media, there’s still nothing like a great radio call — and 880AM ESPN New York delivered when it mattered most.
