VIDEO: Jalen Brunson torches the Boston Celtics! FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS

In one of the most interesting matchups scheduled for this NBA Thursday, the New York Knicks visited the league bests Boston Celtics, looking for a win that helps them clinch that coveted third seed in the Eastern Conference. Jalen Brunson showed again why he must be in the MVP conversation and in the All-NBA first team as well.

The Knicks' point guard had a fantastic game again playing the NBA's top team throughout the entire regular season. Perhaps Boston wasn't playing with the same amount of urgency now that they've secured the top position in the league. However, all players want to compete, especially when playing in front of the home crowd and facing an historic rival.

Brunson continues to make history for the Knicks. New York has found a leader in Jalen, who plays his heart out every single game. This campaign he's been spectacular, and he's closing the season in a supreme level. The last five games he scored 35 points twice, 43, 45 and 39 tonight, simply unstoppable. In the following video we can appreciate how of an offensive beast he is against a very good defensive team as the Celtics.
