On Wednesday evening, the New York Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns by a score of 138-122 in Arizona. Jalen Brunson finished with 36 points, two rebounds, ten assis

The New York Knicks' hire of assistant coach Rick Brunson in June 2022 raised eyebrows at the time, and it's still making headlines.

Jalen Brunson torched Phoenix again with 36 points, 10 assists and seven 3-pointers as the New York Knicks never trailed in their 138-122 road victory over the struggling Suns on Wednesday night.

So perfect, in fact, that the Knicks have systematically loaded the roster with Brunson’s friends and college teammates, completing the title-validated picture from his Wildcats years. And why wouldn’t you?

Mikal Bridges, the former Net traded across the bridge for a boatload of picks, followed with a game-saving rejection on a layup attempt by Dennis Schroder and the Knicks wildly celebrated a victory that became way too close for comfort.

PHOENIX (AP) — Jalen Brunson scored 36 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 34 and the New York Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns 138-122 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win. All five Knicks starters scored in double figures. Josh Hart had 19 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.

Right behind Brunson was a 34-point effort from Karl-Anthony Towns, his sixth game with at least 30 this year. He accompanied that output with 10 rebounds, posting a double-double with Brunson (10 assists) and Josh Hart (19 points on 8-of-11, 11 rebounds) as all five Knicks starters once again reached double-figures in scoring.
