Stratospheric offensive performance by the Knicks, who already have 47 points on the board in the first quarter (shooting almost 80% from the field): they will be 142 at the end, with extraordinary percentages – 60.7% from the field and 57.1% from three points. There is not only a super Brunson but also a 22-point Grimes and Randle capable of contributing 21, 8 assists and 8 rebounds. The Nets can do nothing against these Knicks, who collect the 4th knockout in a row despite Cam Johnson’s 33 points.
Jalen Brunson scores 16 points in the first quarter alone and already has 30 at halftime, thanks to a second half of 6/6 shooting and 14 points. Villanova’s point guard thus drags the Knicks to their seventh consecutive victory and when the final siren sounds, Brunson’s score is one to remember: 39 points with 15/18 shooting (83%): not a player was visible of New York to score so much with these percentages since February 6, 2011, with the signing of Amar’e Stoudemire.
