Jalen Brunson had 26 points (8-of-20 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, three assists, two steals and five three-pointers in the Knicks’ 127-97 victory over the Trail Blazers on Friday.
The Knicks appear to be done messing around. New York has now won five games in a row since a 2-7 stretch. Brunson continues to lead the way and is so consistently good it’s almost boring. The 29-year-old point guard has scored at least 20 points in 11-of-13 games in January. He’s provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks close out the week with a matchup against the Lakers on Sunday.
