Jalen Brunson registers name in New York Knicks history book with incredible numbers in defeat vs San Antonio Spurs

The New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson registered a couple of milestones in the match against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Knicks had a difficult night overall as they lost to the Spurs with a score of 130-126 after overtime at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

Despite the result, the night will remain a memorable one for Brunson as he was a standout performer for the losing side. The 27-year-old ended up registering 61 points to go with four rebounds and six assists.

While doing so, he registered the second-most points in an NBA game by a Knicks player ever. He became the third player in franchise history to register 60 or more points in a game and he also became the first Knicks player in two decades to register 50 or more points on more than one occasion in a season.

Before Friday night’s heroics, Brunson registered 50 points in the game against the Phoenix Suns back in December 2023.

After his recent performance against the Spurs, the New Jersery-born is now averaging 27.9 points per game which is the fifth-best in the competition. To go with that, he is also contributing 3.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game.
