Jalen Brunson Racks Up 43 Points in Game 1 Loss Against Pacers
Jalen Brunson notched 43 points on 15-for-25 shooting in Wednesday's clash against the Indiana Pacers but still ended up on the losing side, as his team blew a big fourth-quarter lead to drop Game 1 of the Conference Finals 138-135 in overtime. Brunson's lone three-point basket of the night gave New York a 119-105 lead with 2:51 to go in the fourth quarter, but Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith exploded from downtown with several makes, leading to an embarrassing collapse for the Knicks on their home court. En route to his second 40-point effort this postseason, Brunson also did a lot of damage at the charity stripe, going 12-for-14. He had one rebound and five assists but committed seven turnovers. The Knicks now find themselves in an uncomfortable spot in the series, yet they always have a chance to win a game with Brunson, who averages 29.9 points and 7.5 assists for the playoffs.
