On a night in which OG Anunoby scored a career-high 40 points, leading the New York Knicks to an explosive 145- 118 victory over the Denver Nuggets, Jalen Brunson's career milestone represents his selflessness on and off the court—Monday night showcased the Knicks working at a high level,

OG Anunoby scored a career-high 40 points, Karl-Anthony Towns had 30 points and 15 rebounds, and the visiting New York Knicks used a big first half to rout the Denver Nuggets 145-118 on Monday night.

The New York Knicks' hire of assistant coach Rick Brunson in June 2022 raised eyebrows at the time, and it's still making headlines.

There’s something about this arena for Jalen Brunson. And it helps to have Karl-Anthony Towns as a teammate. A year after he dropped his first 50-bomb in Phoenix, Brunson pulled off his best performance of the young season with 36 points and 10 assists to bury the Suns in a 138-122 Wednesday cruise.

So perfect, in fact, that the Knicks have systematically loaded the roster with Brunson’s friends and college teammates, completing the title-validated picture from his Wildcats years. And why wouldn’t you?

Jalen Brunson, much like all Knicks fans, were in disbelief as to how his game-winning attempt against the Bulls missed.

Jalen Brunson has played 440 NBA games, and 162 for the Knicks, but this was the best dishing night of his career. The All-Star point guard recorded a career-high 17 assists to help the Knicks tie a franchise record with 45 in Monday’s 145-118 win over the Nuggets.
