In Game 2 of the Knicks’ first-round playoff series against the 76ers, Bojan Bogdanovic played a crucial role in securing a 104-101 victory. Despite a sore wrist, Bogdanovic stepped up in the fourth quarter, hitting two momentum-shifting three-pointers that helped the Knicks maintain their lead and set up a thrilling finish. His performance caught the attention of 76ers coach Nick Nurse, who acknowledged the impact of Bogdanovic’s shooting. Bogdanovic’s contributions were part of a collective effort by the Knicks, who didn’t have any individual finalists for NBA postseason awards. However, coach Tom Thibodeau was a dark horse candidate for Coach of the Year after leading the team to 50 wins despite injuries. Despite the lack of individual recognition, the Knicks remain focused on their goal of team success.
