The unquestioned part of Jalen Brunson’s Knicks playoff burden

Game on. The Knicks are deadlocked in their first-round series against the Pistons.

And one thing has become abundantly clear: Jalen Brunson is one of the franchise’s best playoff scorers of all time.

The point guard added to his postseason tally with 37 points in Monday’s 100-94 Game 2 loss to the Pistons at Madison Square Garden, though the number was lost a bit in the final result and the post-game conversation about the referees.

“I really don’t give a crap how they call the game as long as it’s consistent on both sides,” Tom Thibodeau said. “So [Pistons star Cade] Cunningham’s driving and there’s marginal contact and he’s getting to the line. Then Jalen [Brunson] deserves to be getting to the line, it’s really that simple.”
