Jalen Brunson gave a historic performance in the Knicks’ 139-122 victory against the Phoenix Suns last night, but even still, the victory was a team effort. For your consideration, here are the player grades for the game:
Jalen Brunson (A+): Brunson deserves all the stars. Not only did he record a career-high 50 points–including a perfect 9-for-9 from the 3-point range and 17-for-23 shooting overall–but he dished nine assists, logged the best defensive rating of the team (115), and grabbed five steals and six rebounds. Easily, one of the most remarkable Knicks’ performances I’ve watched, this game stands as a testament to his will to win.
