SAN FRANCISCO - New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau knew what the winning formula was - it was something as simple as having "a lot of fight, a lot of heart".
On March 18, he was pleased as Jalen Brunson scored 34 points as the Knicks completed a wire-to wire 119-112 National Basketball Association (NBA) road victory over the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.
The Warriors, fresh from the high-scoring 128-121 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on March 16, were always on the back foot after New York sprinted to an early 20-6 first-quarter lead at the Chase Centre.
Point guard Brunson pulled the strings superbly to guide an injury-hit Knicks line-up to an impressive win that keeps them firmly on course for the playoffs.
"This team has demonstrated all year there's a lot of fight, a lot of heart, a lot of toughness and a lot of togetherness to the group," said Thibodeau, whose side are fourth in the Eastern Conference on 41-27.
