CHICAGO — Jalen Brunson scored 45 in his second straight 40-point game, and the New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls 128-117 on Tuesday night.
Brunson delivered his 10th 40-point game this season after scoring 43 in a win at Milwaukee on Sunday. He joined Bernard King and Patrick Ewing as the only Knicks players with multiple streaks of 40-point games in one season. Brunson, who played at Adlai Stevenson High School in suburban Lincolnshire, Illinois, nailed seven 3-pointers.
"Outside of the city, where I went to high school, it's a special place," Brunson said.
