The Knicks looked like they were about to put us into another deep depression…

…until they didn’t. Oh, boy, they didn’t.

Here’s everything to know about the night in which New York sent KD back to Twitter.

Mike Brown

On comeback resilience:

“We found a way, that’s what I’m most excited about; we found a way.”

On Towns’ role in the Knicks’ scoring hierarchy:

“Knowing that those two guys are our leading scorer, our second-leading scorer [Jalen Brunson and Towns], first-most shots, second-most shots; trying to fit those two guys in that order and then everybody else is what’s most important. I look at KAT and he’s probably right where he should be. Maybe he should be the leading scorer, I don’t know, but for sure the second-leading scorer — he’s that. He gets the second-most field goal attempts behind Jalen. … The No. 1 guy is probably gonna get the most stuff, because he’s the No. 1 guy. The No. 2 guy, he’s gonna get the second-most stuff because he’s the No. 2. So whatever you do, hopefully it averages out to you getting the second most, if you’re the No. 2 guy.”

On trying to simplify the offense:

“We’ve simplified it a lot. We’ve simplified it a lot to try to fit him in and everyone else at the same time. … Our offense is different now than it was in the preseason because I’ve had to try to adjust and make it fit everybody to where Jalen’s getting his first, KAT’s getting his second, then we go from there.”

On Brunson in crunch time vs. Houston:

“Jalen was in a groove. It didn’t matter who was on him; he found a way to score.”

On the fourth-quarter defense:

“In the fourth quarter, our guys found a way. They buckled down defensively.”

On Alvarado spark decision:

“[Assistant coach] Rick Brunson was the one that suggested throwing Jose in the game at the time, which was the right call. We threw Jose in, and he gave us a spark on both ends of the floor.”

On Jose and Tyler Kolek reps:

“Jose’s played, obviously. Jose’s played well for us. He’s given us a different look. Tyler’s been awesome, for Year 2. He has a chance to be a good pro, really good pro. He’s just gotta stick with it, and we gotta keep trying to help him by finding ways for him to get reps. So today was a good opportunity for us to find a way for him to get a rep.”

On evolving offense philosophy:

“If you watch us closely from the beginning of preseason until now, our offense is different. And it’s different because… it’s evolving to try and fit not just Jalen, not just KAT, but all of our guys. Knowing that those two guys are our leading scorer, our second leading scorer, first most shots, second most shots; trying to fit those two guys in that order and then everybody else is what’s most important.”

On Towns’ season evaluation:

“In a game, you can literally dissect every single game and say this guy didn’t get a shot. And yeah, that’s correct. It happens sometimes. That’s life. Sometimes OG [Anunoby] may have 15 shots and KAT may have nine shots and Jalen may have 26 shots. But as long as at the end of the day it averages out to what it needs to be or what it should be, I think that’s what the season’s about. (The offense is) a work in progress. You’ve gotta continue to feel and evolve as a group and hopefully you can do it around the guys that you need to knowing, ‘OK if this doesn’t work, I’ve gotta go and change this,’ and like I said earlier, our offense is different from now than it was in the preseason because I’ve had to try to adjust and make it fit everybody to where Jalen’s getting his first, KAT’s getting his second, then we go from there.”

On his time with the Warriors and the team’s ever-adjusting with Durant:

“Even our teams in Golden State, when we got KD, we had to change. It was a little different before KD, and KD gets here, we had to change it, and then as the season went along, we were like, okay this is not gonna work, we’ve gotta change it.”

Karl-Anthony Towns

On challenging his teammates before the comeback:

“I just challenged our team to start the fourth. I said, ‘we can win this game and I’ve seen us do it and it starts with the first possession of the fourth quarter playing defense. We gotta get a stop.’ I wanted to do my part as well and glad I was able to find a way to get that stop and from then I wanted to set the tone for our team and set the intensity level that we needed to play for for 12 minutes if we expected to come out with a win.”

On the Knicks’ defense on Saturday:

“We got stops. We got turnovers and that translated into offense and it gave us a confidence boost, that momentum. The crowd was amazing, all 15 guys on the team were amazing.”

On prioritizing the championship over individual performances, in response to Shaq:

“Nah, for sure. But what you said, too, if we win a championship, they can talk about anybody as long as we all get a ring. That’s the most important thing. I don’t care about none of that.

“I wanna make sure we all understand that the biggest goal, the main goal here, is to win. It don’t matter about who gets the credit or whatever.”

Jalen Brunson

On switching his mindset midgame:

“Didn’t like how I was playing. Decided that I had to switch it; that simple. It’s the mentality of trying to get downhill, make plays, not being hesitant, not being passive. If there are mistakes, they’re aggressive mistakes. Don’t want to be on your heels. I just feel like the first two quarters, I was.”

Jose Alvarado

On playing at MSG:

“It’s always gonna [feel] amazing. It’s kind of like a pride thing I got. It’s like when I play for my national team [Puerto Rico] or my country, I’m playing for my hometown, and I’m always gonna have to represent on another level, and just compete.”

On building rhythm with the team:

“Just getting a real rhythm. Like I’ve said, it just comes with spending time with the guys and being around them and slowly getting it. But we’re passing that, we’re in rhythm now so we’ve got a good stretch ahead of us and we’re trying to do something special here.”

On doing little things in the comeback:

“Sometimes it’s not gonna be shots falling and you gotta do the little things, get steals, and do that. But it’s always gonna be a different type of motor when I put that jersey on. I’m from here, and I gotta represent the best way I can.”

Shaquille O’Neal

On criticizing Towns’ softness:

“At the beginning of the game, I said you were playing soft because I’ve seen you at times when you play great. And what you must understand in New York, you need to be great for you guys to win the championship. It’s high aspirations. If you guys win the championship, of course, they’re gonna talk about [Jalen] Brunson, but it’s you and your play. You have to be dominant. You responded very, very well. You played well, you played in the paint, that’s how you should play. You should always play great. Being from Jersey, good ain’t good enough. You had a great game tonight. I’m proud of you.”
