Jalen Brunson led the New York Knicks to a significant 122-109 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring an impressive 43 points with 6 rebounds and 8 assists, marking his third consecutive double-double. Brunson's performance over the Knicks' past five games has been historic, averaging 36.2 points and 9.0 assists, making him the first and only player in Knicks franchise history to achieve this feat. Despite trailing by 11 points at halftime, the Knicks, fueled by Brunson's 17 points in the first 11 minutes and a 20-6 run to begin the third quarter, rallied to secure the win. This victory, highlighted by Brunson's 50% FG shooting and his 9th 40-plus game of the season, improved the Knicks' record to 46-32, moving them to the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks, despite this being their fourth consecutive loss, have clinched a playoff spot.

Brunson up to 41 -- that's his 9th 40-plus game this season. Bernard King holds the franchise record with 13 games of at least 40 in a season. (Brunson had at least 38 3 other times)
The Knicks have begun the fourth quarter with an 8-2 run as Jalen Brunson rests. Guarding their behinds off and some big-time shots from Deuce McBride and Bojan Bogdanovic.

First few minutes of the fourth quarter will be massive. This is when Brunson typically rests. Can the Knicks hold onto the lead without him? Can the Bucks recapture it when the Knicks offense is at its most vulnerable?
Through three quarters, the Knicks lead the Bucks 89-85. • Brunson 37-5-5 • Hartenstein 15 & 9, 7-8 FGs • DiVincenzo 14 pts • Hart 7-8-8 • Antetokounmpo 24-10-5
Knicks up 89-85 entering the fourth and Brunson is up to 35 points -- and if gets his usual rest that means the Knicks have to survive the next few minutes. Hart approaching triple-double territory - 7 pts, 8 rebounds, 8 assists.

Trailing by 11 at halftime knicks have gone up 3 midway through the third on a OG steal of Giannis and fast break layup for Hartenstein...and a lot of Brunson stuff before that.

Brunson is Brunsoning again. 17 points in 11 minutes.
Jalen Brunson up to 17 points -- and easily manuvering through a defense that has very little else on the floor as a threat. Until McBride just hit a 3, it was Brunson 15 and everyone else on the floor zero.
The Knicks are playing with this lineup that has some serious spacing issues and Brunson is weaving through it
