Jalen Brunson scores 45 as Knicks’ magic number to clinch top-6 spot down to one with win over Bulls
NY Post
CHICAGO — Jalen Brunson did it again.
At this point, 40-plus points is just another day at the office during one of the best individual offensive stretches the Knicks franchise has ever produced.
The point guard finished with 45 points in Tuesday’s 128-117 victory over the Bulls, adding eight assists in an exquisite show.
The Bulls were left frustrated by their own boneheaded plays — including an all-time gaffe in the second quarter — but also couldn’t stop the Knicks star.
“Brunson is a motherf–ker,” Bulls guard Coby White said in a way meant to be endearing.
The win left the Knicks with a magic number of 1 to clinch a playoff spot. The Knicks could’ve secured a top-six Eastern Conference spot if Miami lost Tuesday, but the Heat won in double OT in Atlanta.
