Jalen Brunson definitely likes Spurs. While he had already established his previous career record once morest Gregg Popovich’s team during his rookie season, the former Dallas point guard was the major architect of the New York Knicks’ success once morest San Antonio.
The boxscore of this quality meeting is served to you here!
“Here is one that would have done us good in 1999” the oldest Knicks fans must have thought watching Brunson’s performance tonight. Because well, in absolute terms we have nothing once morest Charlie Ward eh, but well, it would still have been very practical to have a leader capable of getting into the heads of the Spurs so easily when it was necessary to play them in the Finals , Spread the word.
Come on, we recognize that all that is valve, the context is totally different. Nevertheless, in front of the public at Madison Square Garden this Wednesday, Jalen Brunson sent a record performance for him on a regular basis at 38 pawns marked, at 63% address including 43% from the Statue of Liberty… and especially a Keldon Johnson who will still have nightmares for a long time from number 11 of the Knickerbockers. After a month of December which will not necessarily have been marked with the seal of regularity, the former Villanova player is starting 2023 on a high note and in the absence of RJ Barrett, he recalled why the Big Apple franchise had so keen to give him a big check last summer: masterfully leading his team, which continues to believe in the Top 6 in the East.
By his side, Julius Randle did his usual job (25 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocks) even if it was still embellished with a few bricks (9/26 shooting including 1/8 from New Orleans). Faced with a Spurs franchise that is fighting for a good place in the next Draft, but whose players are fighting on the field, it was necessary to resist the Texans’ comeback in the fourth quarter. But believe it or not, we are in the age of multiverse and, in 2023, it is indeed all New York which dreams of postseason and San Antonio which quietly awaits the month of June and the next Draft.
The greenest of us can thank Brunson, but also the MSG audience, for lowering the heating bill by raising the temperature in their own way in the mythical New York enclosure. By the way, when do the votes for the All-Star game end already?
