Knicks likely to see best of Jalen Brunson in Game 2 if encouraging trend continues
NY Post
The problem with having the kind of season Jalen Brunson had is that excellence becomes expected. Remarkable becomes routine.
Prodigious becomes par-for-the-course.
And when you toss in the occasional stinker?
Well, it sticks out. It’s like wearing a tie-dyed cummerbund with a tuxedo. It’s like wearing a pair of Puma Clydes with an evening gown. It’s hard to miss.
Brunson missed a lot Saturday night, Game 1 of the playoffs with the 76ers.
He missed 18 out of 26 shots. He missed five out of six 3s. He even missed a technical free throw. But it wasn’t just his shooting that was off. He had five turnovers and was picked clean of the ball twice. He had a tough night guarding anyone.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
