Already able to make a case as one of the greatest New York Knicks players ever, Jalen Brunson made history while leading his team to a dominating win on Friday night.
The Knicks’ leader scored 27 points as part of an incredibly efficient shooting performance in New York’s 127-98 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Brunson connected on 11-of-17 shots from the field for 64.7% and even went 4-of-6 from long range.
But Brunson, 29, will likely remember this game as more than just a regular big game. He surpassed 7,000 points as a Knick, becoming the fastest to reach the milestone in franchise history.
