Jalen Brunson

First, he broke ankles. Then Jalen Brunson buried a backbreaking jumper. With his New York Knicks holding a six-point overtime lead, Brunson goes for the dagger when his slick handles send a wobbly Alex Caruso to the hardwood, leaving the prized free agent addition all kinds of room to knock down the open 3-pointer. Brunson’s fingerprints were all over the Knicks’ fifth consecutive victory, as his 30 points on 11 of 21 shooting plus seven assists were a major catalyst in the 128-120 decision on December 14, 2022.
