Jalen Brunson’s magical Knicks night is one to watch again and again
NY Post
You’re going to want to take advantage of the fact that we live in 2023 this morning. You can find this game. And you’re going to want to find this game, and you’re going to want to watch the second half. Maybe you went to sleep early Friday night. Maybe you had other plans.
All good. Understood.
But do yourself a favor.
Watch this. Watch what Jalen Brunson did as Friday night bled into Saturday morning. Watch how he scorched the Suns for 35 second-half points on the way to 50, a career high. Watch how he made all nine of his 3s, and how he added nine assists and six rebounds and five steals. Watch how he all but single-handedly delivered the Knicks to an epic, essential 139-122 win over Phoenix.
You’ll want to see this. Believe me. Trust me. You’ll want to see it. Maybe twice.

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.
