Knicks, Jalen Brunson survive injury scares to take 2-0 series lead over Pacers
NY Post
The legend of Jalen Brunson grows and now includes his own MSG tunnel moment, poetically on the anniversary of Willis Reed’s famous Game 7 trot onto the same hardwood.
After missing most of Wednesday’s first half with a foot injury, Brunson emerged from the Garden’s bowels to cheers and “MVP” chants.
He then physically and mostly emotionally led the Knicks to their latest thrilling win, a 130-121 victory Wednesday night for a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Pacers.
It was a poignant moment for the franchise history books, especially if the Knicks carry this momentum into their first conference finals since 2000.
But Brunson, ever even-keeled in front of a microphone, wasn’t ready to put anything into perspective.
“I was just focused on making sure I was good to go,” he said.
