The New York Knicks are firmly entrenched at the fifth seed with a chance to move up to fourth following a 9-2 run in February, their best record for the month since the 1989-90 season.
Leading the way was their rising star point guard Jalen Brunson, who was one of the biggest All-Star snubs this season. The 26-year-old Brunson averaged 27.3 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from deep.
For his Herculean effort, Brunson was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, the first Knicks player to win the award since Julius Randle in April 2021.
