Maybe that’s the play that finally gets Jalen Brunson going.
Brunson slices to the hoop and sinks layup to tie the game at 69, plus the foul. Knicks were down as many as 16 near the end of the first half but have won the third quarter 26-12 so far. – 9:54 PM

Jalen Brunson has received loud “MVP” chants in every arena the Knicks have played in over the past month.
NY has played 11 games at MSG and 3 road games.
Brunson got MVP chants in Brooklyn and in Charlotte in January and now tonight in Houston. – 8:20 PM
