New York — A May 7 report says the Philadelphia 76ers managed to keep Jalen Brunson under wraps for most of the contest, but the New York Knicks guard asserted himself when it mattered most, coming alive in crunch time.
The 76ers’ defense reportedly frustrated Brunson through the early stretches, limiting his usual scoring opportunities and forcing difficult looks. That containment, however, could not be sustained in the closing minutes, when Brunson found his rhythm and delivered the pivotal plays the Knicks needed.
Details on the final tally were not immediately available, but the late surge underscored Brunson’s ability to take over games under pressure and highlighted the challenge Philadelphia faces in containing the Knicks’ primary playmaker for a full 48 minutes.
