Jalen Brunson sparkles in return as Knicks dominate red-hot Magic
NY Post
Jalen Brunson returned and drove a defensive steamroller over a surging team at MSG.
Brunson, who missed the previous contest with a scary knee contusion, dropped 26 points as the Knicks breezed Friday night, 98-74, by holding the Magic to the lowest point total for any NBA team this season.
It was the fewest points the Knicks allowed since 2012.
“We played well from start to finish,” Tom Thibodeau said.
The Knicks (37-26), who are soon returning OG Anunoby from elbow surgery, regained the fourth spot in the East by snatching it from the Magic (37-27), which had its five-game winning streak snapped.
Brunson’s impact was immediate.
