Brunson appeared alongside Karl-Anthony Towns in the press conference, and he was asked a question about the Knicks' ability to adapt and win in different ways.
"Do you guys feel like you're built to win either way at this point?" the reporter asked.
Brunson kept his answer short and direct, saying "Yes."
The reporter followed up by stating: "Someday I'm gonna get a two-word answer from you"
Brunson then replied, "Yes sir," prompting laughter from Towns and others present in the press room.
