The Knicks are Jalen Brunson’s basketball team. That is true today, it was true Wednesday night, and it will be true for the next 3 ¹/₂ years and beyond.
RJ Barrett will be by his side, and Julius Randle will be there for at least part of the journey. But until the Knicks land a megastar — if the Knicks ever land a megastar — Brunson will be the money player in the Garden. He will be the best quarterback in the market, better than the two guys most likely behind center in MetLife Stadium, Daniel Jones and Jimmy G.
Things got crazy again in the closing sequences, with a near Brunson turnover and a missed shot in the lane. But Quentin Grimes hit a dagger, and the returning Barrett drained a couple of free throws, and soon enough He’s doing his job. In fact, there’s no way that recent endgame meltdown in Dallas happens if Brunson wasn’t in street clothes.
Hey, someone at the Garden should have been enterprising enough to put this on the marquee in the brightest lights:USA TODAY SportsBarrett’s re-entry added an extra layer of importance to the event, and on cue Thibodeau threw the wing and his messed-up finger out there for 41 volatile minutes, leaving Barrett with 27 points on 23 shots, 14 of them misses.The effort was clearly appreciated.
