While his direct match-up Tyrese Haliburton made a nice mark in his pants (it starts strong), Jalen Brunson continued with new work. Another monumental performance from the Knicks leader, entering a… spatial dimension.
Another night at the office for Jalen Brunson. A “Monday” as someone else would say. It was expected – although, maybe not to this extent – but last night Jalen Brunson put his Knicks team on his broad shoulders, and he went out to beat up some peasant. A bit brutal as an image but you get it, and on this morning of May 7, 2024 it is therefore a new performance of 40 points and more validated by the JB, with – more importantly – a 1-0 Knicks which would have been good could escape them. Except that with the former protégé of… Rick Carlisle (current coach of the Pacers), New York seems to have a kind of shield of invincibility. Yeah, here we are.
JALEN BRUNSON TAKES OVER GAME 1.
🔥 43 points
🔥 14-26 shooting
🔥 6 rebounds, 6 assists
🔥 Leads NYK to 1-0 series lead

He had ignited, with others, the first round against the Sixers and he therefore seems to be heading back for a… tour, after an evening spent singing to the entire Indiana defense. 43 points at 14/26 on shots and 14/14 on throwsa fifth offensive card in a row, a fourth in a row at 40 points or more, which brings the New York All-Star into a very private club of legends, in addition to being this morning the best scorer in these Playoffs.
Jalen Brunson’s run continues.
His last 5 matches?
39 points
47 points
40 points
41 points
43 points
He is extraordinary in these Playoffs.

Where is Jalen Brunson going to stop? We would bet on the 50 point mark, as the former Villanova student seems focused and fulfilled alongside his two struggling colleagues Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. Frankly ? Good luck to the Pacers, and while they do we would advise them to take advantage of it and take photos.
