Jalen Brunson's historic afternoon put the New York Knicks one step closer to a series victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Jalen Brunson offered a resounding reminder to anyone doubting his postseason prowess on Sunday afternoon, standing as the driving force behind the Knicks ' 97-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The point guard lived up to his headlining billing and then some, breaking a franchise record Bernard King had for 40 years with 47 points.
“It’s pretty cool,” Brunson said, per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. “But unless comes back and helps us win the next game, I promise you I’ll think about later.”Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Subplots centered on further slights have emerged: Brunson was not included on any lists of finalists for the major individual awards, including MVP and also kept off the United States men's national team's Olympic roster despite standing as the top American scorer. An early Philadelphia breakout, one that threatened to send the series back to Madison Square Garden tied 2-2, had the Brunson deniers ready to hit send on a firestorm of X posts justifying his rejections.
