Walt Frazier, Bernard King and Patrick Ewing. When it comes to New York Knick all-time greats, those three names tend to reign supreme. Jalen Brunson is making the case that he belongs among them.
Brunson is only in his second year as a Knick, but the historic nature of this postseason is placing him in some rarefied air. And Brunson’s performance on Tuesday night may have been his most impressive and important yet.
In perhaps the biggest game at Madison Square Garden in decades, Brunson led a depleted Knicks team to a critical 121-91 victory over the Pacers. With the win, New York now holds a 3-2 series lead as the rivalry shifts back to Indiana for Game 6 on Friday night. One more win and the Knicks are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000.
