Four games in, Jalen Brunson has already started rewriting the story of the modern-day Knicks.
Leadership. Focus. There’s a team chemistry in Madison Square Garden many thought long gone. This is what Brunson has brought to the table in his short Knicks tenure.
New York’s star free agent acquisition had all of his skills on display in Wednesday’s 134-131 overtime win over the Hornets. Brunson scored 27 points on 10 of 15 shooting, adding a career-best 13 assists. Brunson also flirted with a triple-double and added seven rebounds.
This is the situation the Knicks have dreamed of for over 20 years.
