NEW YORK -- Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson returned Sunday after nearly a month-long injury absence, logging 15 points and six assists to help New York to a 112-98 victory over a desperate Phoenix Suns club.
It wasn't Brunson's prettiest showing. He finished just 3-for-9 from the field, with some uncharacteristic missed jumpers. Still, the league leader in clutch points per minute hit a massive 3-pointer with just under two minutes left to extend the Knicks' lead to 10 and essentially seal the win.
