Jalen Brunson drops career-high 50 points to lead Knicks over Suns in historic night
NY Post
PHOENIX – Jalen Brunson hit the milestone on a night of 3-point perfection.
In a 139-122 upset victory that had the Knicks locker room in a celebratory mood, Brunson dropped 50 points on the Suns to give his franchise its first victory over Kevin Durant in over a decade.
Brunson was a flawless 9-for-9 on treys.
His final bucket, fittingly, was a 3-pointer with 1:46 remaining, placing Brunson in rare company.
He joined Kyrie Irving as the only two players in NBA history to score at least 50 points while not missing a 3-pointer.
“That’s his franchise,” Durant said afterwards. “And he’s going to be a Hall of Fame player by end of his career the way he’s playing out there.”
