Jalen Brunson drops career-high 50 points to lead Knicks over Suns in historic night
NY Post
PHOENIX – Jalen Brunson hit the milestone on a night of 3-point perfection.
In a 139-122 upset victory that had the Knicks locker room in a celebratory mood, Brunson dropped 50 points on the Suns to give his franchise its first victory over Kevin Durant in over a decade.
Brunson was a flawless 9-for-9 on treys.
His final bucket, fittingly, was a 3-pointer with 1:46 remaining, placing Brunson in rare company.
He joined Kyrie Irving as the only two players in NBA history to score at least 50 points while not missing a 3-pointer.
“That’s his franchise,” Durant said afterwards. “And he’s going to be a Hall of Fame player by end of his career the way he’s playing out there.”
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
