Maybe, at some point, Jalen Brunson may play a basketball game where he doesn’t leave us slack-jawed while setting some kind of Knicks record… but tonight was not that night.

“OG! OG! OG” chants from the MSG crowd as OG Anunoby got in the middle of a scrum of Knicks/Nets arguing after Cam Thomas pushed Jalen Brunson. Anuboby had to be separated by an official from Thomas and Trendon Watford. – 9:55 PM

Jalen Brunson was scoreless until just a couple minutes ago. Now has nine points in a hurry to cut the Nets’ lead to 53-43 with about 3 minutes until halftime. – 8:32 PM

Jalen Brunson has bulldozed his way into MVP conversation by leading NYK after Julius Randle injury (31p, 7a). Should be the first Knick to garner votes since Carmelo Anthony finished 3rd in 2013. More on that & seeding scenarios: sny.tv/articles/knick…

The mark of a special player, as OG Anunoby called Jalen Brunson, isn’t the numbers. It’s the frenzy.
The Celtics threw various defensive coverages at Brunson. They used various defenders. He responded each time.

Jalen Brunson mostly attributed the #Knicks win to hitting shots. On key to beating #Celtics, he said it’s not about playing perfect, but capitalizing on the slim number of mistakes Boston makes pic.twitter.com/IVe7XChzCr – 10:24 PM

More on this storyline
Erik Slater: Cam Thomas on his Jalen Brunson foul and OG Anunoby altercation at the end of the game: “He just over exaggerated and flopped… So kudos to him for that… He got a tech on me though, I don’t like that.” -via Twitter @erikslater_ / April 12, 2024
Fred Katz: Jalen Brunson and Deuce McBride are available, Tom Thibodeau said. Said McBride was “a little under the weather but I think he’ll be fine.” -via Twitter @FredKatz / April 12, 2024
Tommy Beer: The Knicks have ruled out Isaiah Hartenstein for Friday’s game vs Brooklyn due to left Achilles injury management. Deuce McBride is questionable (illness) Jalen Brunson is probable (lower right leg contusion). -via Twitter @TommyBeer / April 12, 2024
