What happened
Mike Brown used an 11-man rotation in Saturday's 109-97 win over Cleveland, and even first-half minutes went to usual reserves Mohamed Diawara and Dalton Knecht.
Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet said Monday that Brown's constant lineup mixing helps the Knicks keep growing, trust each other, and stay ready.
