Jalen Brunson becomes fourth NBA player with four straight 40-point playoff games

NEW YORK CITY — Jalen Brunson doesn’t enter into a video game intending to score 40 points more regularly than anybody in the postseason because Michael Jordan.

He just appreciates winning video games, so a late protective stop is simply as essential to him as any of his shots.

“The little things can go a long way,” Brunson stated. “So yeah, the 40 points are cool and all, but it’s the little things that help us win games like that. So I’m just happy to have the group of guys that I do.”

And the New York Knicks are certainly enjoyed have him.

Brunson scored 43 points, ending up being the 4th gamer in NBA history with 4 straight 40-point video games in the postseason, and the Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 121-117 on Monday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Brunson had 21 in the 4th quarter, rallying the Knicks after they tracked by 9 early in the duration, and signed up with Hall of Famers Jerry West, who had 6 successive 40-point video games in the postseason, and Michael Jordan and Bernard King (both with 4). Jordan did it in the 1993 NBA Finals.

Donte DiVincenzo hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 40 seconds staying and scored 25 for the Knicks, who opened the 2nd round with the kind of close surface that their first-round triumph over Philadelphia had plenty of.

The Pacers then sufficed to one, however Myles Turner was required an offending nasty when DiVincenzo faced him.

“I just think the way they work, they’ve invested a lot into this season and they put a lot into each and every day,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau stated. “So, when you make that commitment to each other, you’re not going to give in, you’re going to keep fighting. And that’s the great fight. We know we’re short-handed. So, that’s our way.”

Josh Hart included a playoff career-high 24 points and included 13 rebounds and 8 helps.

The No. 2-seeded Knicks will host Game 2 on Wednesday.

Turner scored 23 points for the sixth-seeded Pacers, who got strong play from their bench and were in excellent shape to follow their first-round ouster of Milwaukee by leaping to the lead versus the Knicks.

But Brunson directed New York through another tight surface, after it outscored Philadelphia by one overall point over 6 video games in the preliminary.

“Playing in an arena like this, having it come down to the last couple of possessions on the road in the playoffs, what more can you ask for?” Pacers guard T.J. McConnell stated. “The ball didn’t bounce our way. We just got to adjust and fix some things.”

Brunson peacefully beat fellow All-Star point player Tyrese Haliburton, the NBA’s helps leader who completed with 6 points and 8 helps after being noted as doubtful with back convulsions.

Pascal Siakam scored 19 for Indiana and McConnell included 18, leading a bench that completed with a massive 46-3 benefit over its New York equivalents.

The bench isn’t a huge concern for the Knicks, who will ride Brunson, Hart and DiVincenzo as far as they can take them.

Hart played all 48 minutes, DiVincenzo 44 and Brunson 43 1/2.

It was all sufficient to get the Knicks the early lead, their very first in a series behind the preliminary because the 2000 East semifinals versus Miami.

They lost the Eastern Conference finals to the Pacers that year as part of their intense playoff competition that started in the 1990s. The groups satisfied 3 straight times from 1993-95 and once again from 1998-2000 — when Thibodeau and Indiana’s Rick Carlisle were assistants with their existing groups.

The renewal is off to a quite eye-pleasing start.

McConnell’s basket made it 94-85 with about 10 1/2 minutes staying and indicated an early end to what was expected to be a rest for Brunson. He went back to stimulate an 8-0 run that got the Knicks right back into it, and when Indiana returned ahead 109-104 with 4:27 to go, he scored 7 points in a 9-0 burst that offered New York a 113-109 lead.

The Pacers returned ahead 115-113 before Brunson connected it and DiVincenzo struck from behind the arc for the lead, simply as he carried out in a rally to beat the 76ers last round.

“It was a little bit of like Game 2 of the last series,” DiVincenzo stated.

Indiana’s bench — which need to be a benefit for the Pacers in the series — offered a strong start to the 2nd quarter, and a 9-0 run prior to the half offered the Pacers a 55-46 benefit. Isaiah Hartenstein’s heave from beyond halfcourt entered at the buzzer to make it a six-point video game at the break.

The Knicks rose ahead by 5 with under 5 minutes staying in the 3rd once again the Pacers got a huge increase from their bench, with 3 baskets from McConnell and 2 dunks from previous Knicks forward Obi Toppin — one where he put the ball in between his legs initially like something from a slam dunk contest. Indiana took an 87-82 cause the 4th after Turner’s 3-pointer as time ended.

Hartenstein and OG Anunoby both completed with 13 points.
