Jalen Brunson wasn’t available for the Knicks game against the Houston Rockets on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. That was OK because Immanuel Quickley admirably picked up the slack during New York’s 137-115 victory.
The 23-year-old point guard went off for 40 points, which is a new career-high mark. It wasn’t just the final number that was eye-popping, though. How he reached that plateau was even more impressive.
Quickley scored his 40 points in an efficient manner. In fact, his effort was the most efficient in Knicks history:
