Jalen Brunson’s Game 5 Masterclass: Did the Knicks Just Unearth an NBA Superstar?
Heâs not big. Or an elite athlete by NBA standards. Or a high-level defender.
Game 5 reminded us of what he is.
Heâs a lethal isolation scorer who is one of the best in the league at getting opponents on their heels. A manipulator of the floor when heâs given any amount of space. A top 10 offensive player in the NBA according to offensive DRIP.
For one night, Brunson was the best player on the floor, scoring 32 points to lead the Knicks to a 111-94 win over the Pacers. New York staved off elimination, with Indiana now holding a 3-2 series lead as things move back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday.
