Well, MVPs have a habit of raising their game to another level when co-stars, particularly ones as important as OG Anunoby, are out. And that’s exactly what the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson did.
Well, MVPs have a habit of raising their game to another level when co-stars, particularly ones as important as OG Anunoby, are out. And that’s exactly what Brunson did.He put the team on his back and led a furious Knicks fourth-quarter comeback en route to their 124-118 win over the shorthanded Rockets Monday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks found themselves down 11 points entering the fourth quarter. Amen Thompson, without Anunoby there to guard him, was torching their defense.Life without Anunoby, who received the biggest contract in franchise history this past offseason, is much harder. But the Knicks clearly weren’t in the mood for excuses. Teams that want to consider themselves contenders don’t allow themselves to make any.
They entered Monday’s game averaging 18.3 fast break points per game — second most in the entire NBA.
