Jalen Brunson poured in 40 points, tying Carmelo Anthony for third on the Knicks' franchise list, as New York defeated the Bucks. Despite a scare in the third quarter, Brunson returned to lead the Knicks to victory.
Brunson had 23 points in the first quarter, one off his career high for any period, and was off to another strong start in the third when he was slow to get up after having his shot blocked on a drive to the basket. Once he did stand up, he immediately motioned to the bench that he needed to come out and walked directly to the locker room area.
The Knicks never announced an injury and Brunson eventually emerged from the tunnel about six minutes later to a loud ovation and checked back into the game. He reached 40 points for the 17th time as a Knick, tying Carmelo Anthony for third on the franchise list. Randall added 30 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks, who had lost four of five before shooting 58% from the field.Bucks: Milwaukee has been blown out in both trips to New York and in this one allowed its highest point total of the season. Knicks: As long as Brunson is fine, Sunday's game went a long way toward shaking off the bad feelings to the Knicks' rocky start to the new year. The Knicks opened the second half with a 10-0 burst, forcing the Bucks to take two quick timeouts and extending the lead to 85-62
