News about Jalen Brunson

The New York Knicks outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 118-115 victory in the deciding Game 6 of their first-round series. The Knicks will face the Pacers in the conference semifinals, after Indiana eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks themselves earlier on Thursday. Jalen Brunson led all scorers with 41 points, while Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 39. 

The NBA has stated that officials of Tuesday night's Game 5 between the Knicks and 76ers missed a critical travel on Philadelphia star Tyrese Maxey. Maxey's walk with the ball happened on the play where he made a 3-pointer and drew a foul on New York's Mitchell Robinson. Maxey's effort helped the 76ers push their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series to a Game 6 on Tuesday night thanks to a pair of clutch 3-pointers with under 30 seconds left in regulation against the Knicks. 

The New York Knicks failed to close out a opening playoff series win Tuesday after the Philadelphia 76ers' comeback win in Game 5.  The Knicks had the chance to seal a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals for a second consecutive year as they hosted the Sixers in front of a celebrity filled Madison Square Garden and were seconds away from doing so.  However, Tyrese Maxey came up clutch for Philadelphia as his game-tying three from the logo in the dying seconds of regulation forced the game into a dramatic overtime finish. 

Even for a building known for its volume, Madison Square Garden got loud for Game 2 of the New York Knicks' opening-round series with the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. The obvious culprit was Donte DiVincenzo's go-ahead 3-pointer, which capped a wild play with 13 seconds remaining and sent Knicks fans into absolute hysterics. But following New York's 104-101 Game 2 win - which gave the Knicks a 2-0 series lead - Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse told reporters the dramatic game-winner shouldn't have counted. As Nurse explained, after Knicks guard Jalen Brunson cut the Sixers' lead to 101-99 with a 3-pointer at the 27-second mark, he called for a timeout. What's more, video replay confirms this. 'The first thing is, obviously they score, we take a look at getting it in quick,' Nurse said. 'We don't get it in quick, I call timeout. Referee looked right at me, ignored me.'

Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks had to be helped off the court with an injury only one minute into Sunday's match against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brunson, who averages 27.2 points per game, was hurt while trying to take a jump shot over Cleveland's Isaac Okoro. Brunson came off a screen near the foul and uplifted without a human contact. As he came back to the ground, Brunson's legs split violently, and he staggered toward the 3-point line before collapsing to the ground.

In obvious pain and agony, he was aided and directed to the locker room.

After Jalen Brunson and Chris Paul's confrontation at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, the Knicks actor spoke out against giving Paul a sarcastic look and not refusing to let him help him out of court. Brunson was caught an inbounds pass and attempted to dribble up the court before Paul picked the Knicks All-Star to the Madison Square Garden hardwood, bringing the Knicks All-Star to the Madison Square Garden hardwood. After the incident, the 38-year-old handed over the third quarter to his opponent, the buzzer signaling the end of the third quarter was offended.

JAKE NISSE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: During Jayson Tatum's warmup on Saturday night, he took a short break from his regular duties. Most of his time on the court was spent honing the skills he'd soon use: he splashed in some jumpers, tested his dribble, and rehearsed some post moves as the arena slowly began to fill up. However, at one point, perhaps a minute, a Celtics staffer gently punched a basketball back and forth on the Madison Square Garden hardwood.

Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, and Trae Young were all shootings shy of being in this year's three-point tournament, with Brunson being two shots shy of qualifying for the second round. On the Rommates Show podcast, the Knicks guard told Josh Hart and Matt HIllman that he heard someone not far away from the courthouse yelling. Some bald guy behind the bench.'

'I really did want to stay in Dallas,' Brunson said to the surprise of many during his podcast appearance.

JAKE NISSE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: As the Lakers sailed into New York for a primetime matchup with the Knicks, you'd have trouble finding two teams on opposite schedules.
