Brunson Franchise Record 47 Points In Playoff Game Propels Knicks to 3-1 Series Lead

[@nickrusso2910]

Where is Becky Hammon, Chuck, and Shaq now?😂😂

[@johannamortega]

Reeeaallll quiet right now.

[@AmaZment717]

Facts..they’ll downplay it big time

[@dandandkl9048]

Spot on! Don’t know why anyone still watches NBA analysts, cause they hire former players who do not follow the players and the games…I’ll listen amonica anytime, even though she’s a former player…difference is she has talent, is smart and does her homework! Hammon is so overrated! Shaq just goes thru the motion and a chuck is 50/50 whenever he opines!

[@kingalpha34]

Exactly

[@gmsinlandempire2246]

lol a church house 🐁

[@joshw9490]

Precious is so underrated. He’s a great defender

[@jimmynibbs6746]

Hats off to the Knicks front office for the moves they made at the trade deadline. The former Toronto players were crucial in this win today.

[@movado0379]

We don't miss RJ and Quick anymore! OG and Precious coming up huge

[@nickrusso2910]

Jalen Brunson is far from done breaking records for the Knicks. He will. finish as one of the all-time best Knicks.❤

[@roblayman9433]

Serves Mark Cuban right for tanking last year to keep their draft pick 😮

[@ripared]

Brunson has the biggest heart

The Knicks D showed up. Lots of grit and grind to get that win. OG did a great job taking away Embiid 3 ball looks. Monster game by Brunson. Let's close them out in NY.

Let's give Joel Embid the welcome he deserves at MSG. He has earned it completely. Team reminds me of those 90s Knicks. Tough ASF.

[@djthx8757]

Honeboy was booed while attempting free throws in the 4th qtr. And he missed the 1st one

[@yourmother4898]

[@DKG82]

Legendary game by Brunson and this team!!!!

[@nicholasrios5622]

Brunson is amazing but our D and effort as a team is special. All heart/Hart. Achua 4 blocks, 17 boards by hart, Og shutting down the mvp center from last season, Div with timely shots, Ihart stepping up for Mitch McBride off the bench playing like a new man from last playoffs! This is a fucking team to be proud NY!

[@mrnixon2287]

When Anunoby is showing emotion, the opposition are in trouble. Precious was huge, Hart was a rebound machine and Knicks D was up to the challenge and then some. Brunson 47pts was icing on the cake. Anunoby 14 rebounds, 3 blocks 47mins. Hart 46mins, 17 rebounds, 3 blocks. Damn. Amazing production.

[@zenekpacow4962]

Let's Go KNICKS!!!

[@asaphmartin9563]

Its great to see my childhood hero John Starks out there having the time of his life! Carmelo back at MSG in game 2 feeling alive with other knicks greats Its a wonderful feeling like the Jeremy Lin days and the 1994 and 1999 finals runs. Where is Alan Houston?

[@jimmynibbs6746]

The best player on the floor tonight was BRUNSON!!!! 🧡💙

If the refs had ejected Embiid for those obviously flagrant fouls, the series would’ve been over today. But it’s all good though! Orange and blue skies, baby! Orange and blue skies! Tuesday, it’s over!

[@lukec9018]

Brunson’s magnificent 47 piece is overshadowed because he didn’t get a flagrant foul

[@yourmother4898]

Repeating lame phrases you heard some other lamo say is corny. Learn to think for yourself. (47 piece) So unoriginal.

[@lukec9018]

@@yourmother4898 this is in reply to pundits giving Embied a pass for his horrible flagrant foul on Mitch. It's called sarcasm...

[@jayjones9225]

Love how many ways this team can win. Sometimes the offense explodes for 125+ and sometimes it’s a “Brunson and scrappy defense” kind of game

[@jdriscoll2000]

I'm burst tearing up during these wins

[@wesleyalmonds2484]

Great performance by the Knicks especially Jalen Brunson who I knew was going to bounce back after a non shooting performance in Game 1 & 2 he put on a Bernard King like performance epic performance by The Brunson Burner.

[@user-id9jh2cb9h]

I have said all along that OG was a monster in this game!!

[@douglasmennella4525]

Show them who we are!!

[@maxxammedhus.468]

Knicks in 5 baby

[@viccamppinball]

Knicks played like they did down the stretch of the regular season and beat the 76ers into the pavement. OG guarding Joel E in the 4th quarter was the key to shutting him down from scoring etc. Precious came up big in the 4th quarter also, but the real deal was Brunson… what a great basketball player he truly is. May the Knicks stay healthy in the playoffs and bring the New York fans all the deserve heading towards the finals. Go NEW YORK go!!!

[@roblayman9433]

I'm telling you OG is the key to us winning

[@jeangill2004]

Let's go Knicks 🗽

[@gogz1981]

Not a Knicks fan (sadly a Nets fan), but I’m all in on them since they’re still a hometown team. I didn’t realize the level of grit and tenacity they play with. Honestly, it reminds me a bit of the early 90’s knicks - when I first started watching basketball - in that the guys never stop hustling on defense. Love watching them play. Go NYK!

[@markkeats6302]

God, I love this team. So gritty & tough. Brunson is king of NY. How great was that Toronto trade. Leon stole Precious has developed his game tremendously under Tibbs. We never would have had 50 wins & come this far with RJ & IQ. Great future ahead with this team, mgmt. & draft picks. GO KNICKS! 🏀 🏀

[@roblayman9433]

And really our supposed star, 3d overall pick RJ Barrett was a bust

At this point, It's safe to say...Look the f-out. Knicks are for real.

[@gregfrank4297]

3rd qtr by Hartenstein was awesome too! 5 fouls? Yes. But no open looks for Embid nor any And 1's!! A lot diff than the 3rd qtr of game 3 & the first half today. Then OG's 4th qtr D was amazing while Precious played the best 12 minutes of his life on both sides of the ball.

[@elisapendleton5710]

I hope the next management son bronson to a long term Contract let's go Next

Brunson is a stud. Also Robinson is not needed to close em out. Let him get healthy for the next series and potentially Boston if they beat the Pacers/ Bucks

I laughed at a joke when the Knicks made the trade with the Raptors. "We get OG and a stripper"..... that joke is still funny, but there is nothing funny about Precious Achiuwa... what a great game.

[@delismyname3866]

They play ball with New York grit…tooth and nail team keeps coming at you!!Close it out Tuesday 🏀🔥

[@reggycoldros1113]

we won this trade Precious and Anunoby are better fit than RJ and IQ for sure

[@BluBlackDaGod]

Thats a fact Wally 💯 Precious would be much better at guarding Embid than OG. Cause Precious is faster & can get physical where OG gives up on heigh.

[@dub814]

Yes. The extra possesions not only ran off the clock, but made the 76ers expend energy cuz you play hard on defense but not as much on offense. Embiid was gassed at the end.

[@LoveOCOC]

Play the Knicks "Victory" Song when they win! We predicted that we would play the Victory Song 48 times this year! But they win 50 and are 2 in the east!!! Prediction #2: The Knicks win the Eastern Conference Championship! Victory!!!! Lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJqwk6OnipmXipY#Victoryknicks Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boimqX-LjLesgbuHee

[@stephennixon9609]

So proud of this team getting this huge road win but the FT shooting made me want to pull my hair out of my head. We could've won this game by 10 or more if we hit our free throws. But a tremendous victory and now like I said before get your earplugs out because the Garden will be deafening and Embiid is going to hear it all game long. I'm going to have the volume on my TV turned up. My neighbors may not like it.

[@tberry2060]

It all ended up happening in our favor, but you gotta be nuts as a coach to let your starting center get 5 fouls in the 3rd quarter. Absolutely nuts!!! But I'll take the win

[@scottiescott9297]

Funny how you have to wait for the playoffs to see real defense being played. The Knicks are showing that it's still possible, even in this 3 pointer obsessed, no hand check era. But then, they've been like this all season long.
