Jalen Brunson Propels Knicks To 3-2 Lead Over Pacers |
NBA Analysis
Jalen Brunson scored 44 points, hitting the 40-point mark for the fifth time in this NBA postseason, and the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 121-91 on Tuesday for a 3-2 lead in their playoff series.
“I think as a team, no matter what the situation is, we have the same mindset no matter what,” Brunson said. “And regardless of how I’m feeling or someone else is feeling, we know what’s at stake, we know what we have to do, and we’re going to figure it out.”
Brunson injured his right foot in Game 2 and was limited to 18 points Sunday, his lowest of the postseason. He continues to express that he’s fine and showed it Tuesday, shooting 18 for 35 and again looking like the player who finished fifth in MVP voting.
