Jalen Brunson’s Season-High 40 Points Lead Knicks Past Magic to NBA Cup Final
Brunson's 40 points led the Knicks to their ninth win in 10 games, advancing them to the NBA Cup final against the Spurs or Thunder.
- On Saturday, Jalen Brunson scored a season-high 40 points as the New York Knicks defeated the Orlando Magic 132-120 in Las Vegas to reach the NBA Cup final.
- Brunson's efficiency helped because he made 16 of 27 shots with eight assists while the Knicks shot 60.7% and the Magic were hampered by the absence of Franz Wagner.
- The contest swung on a late third-quarter run when there were 11 lead changes and 10 ties before the Knicks took a 102-92 lead, with Brunson hitting a three after leaving Anthony Black on the floor.
- With a final berth secured, the New York Knicks will face Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday for their first trophy since 1973 and $530,000 per winning player.
- The NBA Cup's format, now in its third year, features a rare halftime moment when Brunson and Suggs each scored 25 points, highlighting its growing popularity.
