Knicks rip Rockets in Jalen Brunson’s return to hit season’s midpoint on winning note
NY Post
Back to full strength after missing Jalen Brunson in their previous two contests, the Knicks hit the 41-game midpoint of the season with a redemptive victory at the Garden.
Brunson returned from his calf injury to score 30 points with seven assists in 37 minutes Wednesday as the Knicks beat the Rockets 109-94 on Tom Thibodeau’s 66th birthday.
“Fantastic,” Brunson said when asked about his health. “Any chance I get to get out there to go play when I’m feeling great, I want to play, obviously.
“I think we’re in a good place right now, but we got a lot of room for improvement. There’s a place we want to be, and we don’t want to be peaked out. We want to continue to get better.”
Julius Randle provided 31 points with eight rebounds and OG Anunoby contributed 15 points and four steals in his seventh win in nine games with the Knicks (24-17), who also will play Thursday night at MSG against the Wizards before RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley return to New York on Saturday with the Raptors.
“I told [Brunson] to get his ass back … because we need him,” Randle said.
