Jalen Brunson delivered a historic performance, scoring 44 points as the New York Knicks overwhelmed the Milwaukee Bucks 140-106 at Madison Square Garden. This remarkable outing not only showcased Brunson's skill but also set a franchise record for the most points scored by a Knick in under 30 minutes, surpassing the long-standing mark held by Patrick Ewing.
Brunson's brilliance came at a crucial time, as his opponent, Bucks star Damian Lillard, was in attendance. Despite Lillard's 22 points and five assists, the Bucks struggled to cope with Brunson's prolific scoring, marking one of their toughest losses of the season.
