Jalen Brunson delivered an outstanding performance in the NBA playoffs, scoring 43 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the New York Knicks to a 121-117 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 1. Brunson's scoring spree marks the fourth consecutive game where he has scored over 40 points, a feat only matched by legends like Michael Jordan, Jerry West, and Bernard King. Donte DiVincenzo contributed significantly with 25 points, 2 blocks, and a game-winning shot, while Josh Hart added 24 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals. This trio, known as the 'Nova Knicks,' has been instrumental in the Knicks' recent success, scoring or assisting on a significant portion of the team's points in the last two games.
