Brunson dropped 29 on 12-of-18 shooting and the Knicks locked up the #3 seed with a 112-95 win over Toronto — their 13th straight W over the Raptors.
Jalen Brunson reminded everyone why he's the engine of this Knicks team, pouring in 29 points on an absurdly efficient 12-of-18 shooting as New York wrapped up the #3 seed in the East with a 112-95 beatdown of Toronto. It was the Knicks' 13th consecutive victory over the Raptors — a streak that dates back nearly two full calendar years.
Karl-Anthony Towns was his usual dominant self with 22 points and 10 rebounds, and the Knicks improved to 53-28 on the season. This is a team that knows exactly what it is heading into the playoffs: deep, experienced, and built around a point guard who gets better when the lights get brighter.
New York will enter the postseason with legitimate title aspirations. After years of rebuilding, the Knicks are a genuine threat — and Brunson's ability to score at will in the mid-range and at the rim makes them a nightmare matchup for anyone.
