Jalen Brunson’s magical Knicks night is one to watch again and again

You’re going to want to take advantage of the fact that we live in 2023 this morning. You can find this game. And you’re going to want to find this game, and you’re going to want to watch the second half. Maybe you went to sleep early Friday night. Maybe you had other plans. 

All good. Understood. 

But do yourself a favor. 

Watch this. Watch what Jalen Brunson did as Friday night bled into Saturday morning. Watch how he scorched the Suns for 35 second-half points on the way to 50, a career high. Watch how he made all nine of his 3s, and how he added nine assists and six rebounds and five steals. Watch how he all but single-handedly delivered the Knicks to an epic, essential 139-122 win over Phoenix.  

You’ll want to see this. Believe me. Trust me. You’ll want to see it. Maybe twice. 

“We have to continue to get better,” Brunson told MSG’s Mike Breen minutes after the final buzzer, because of course he did, because Brunson’s first instinct is always to talk team, even on a night when he hung half a hundred. “Everyone was on the same page and we have to continue to stay on that page.”
