Jalen Brunson

When the game is on the line, Jalen Brunson finds another gear entirely. With the Knicks trailing in Atlanta and the fourth quarter ticking away, Brunson seized control, pouring in 17 of his 30 points in the final frame to flip the script. He glides into the lane and floats a soft touch shot over the Hawks defense, the kind of mid-range mastery that defines his game. Brunson finished with 30 points and 13 assists, nearly double his season average in dimes, powering New York to a 108-105 road win.
