The New York Knicks made a huge investment in Jalen Brunson this season, signing him to a four-year, $104M contract over the summer.
It is really paying off.
Brunson helped lead the Knicks to a playoff spot this season, and had a monster game on Tuesday night to help them even their second round series against the Miami Heat. He also did something that no Knicks player has done in the past 10 years.
With his 30-point effort in the Knicks’ 111-105 win, he became the first Knicks player since Carmelo Anthony to record at least 30 points in a playoff game at Madison Square Garden.
Anthony was the last Knicks player to do that back during the 2013 playoffs.
Fittingly enough, Anthony was in attendance for Tuesday’s game and shared an embrace with Brunson.
He also received a rousing cheer from the Knicks faithful.
