“The Cerebral Assassin” Jalen Brunson left every head turning to watch his brilliance on display. In 35 minutes, Brunson had 34 points, five rebounds and seven assists. Fifteen of those points came in the third quarter, where the Knicks ultimately closed the door on any comeback opportunities for Golden State.
Leading the entire game, Brunson shredded the Warrior defense, with no one having an answer for the ever-methodical Jalen Brunson. Over his last three games, Brunson is averaging 40 points on 52% from the field, leading New York to a 3-0 record thus far.
Before returning to New York, the Knicks will face Denver on the road. These takeover performances from Brunson were outstanding, and entering Denver with a win should catapult Brunson into the end-of-season MVP conversations due to Brunson’s level of play and effort throughout the season.
