Jalen Brunson erupted for a season-high 47 points on Dec. 21, 2025, lifting the New York Knicks to a tight win over the Miami Heat.
The guard shouldered the scoring load from the opening tip and never cooled off, repeatedly breaking down Miami’s defense to keep New York in front. His 47 points marked his best output of the season and proved decisive as the Knicks squeezed past their Eastern Conference rival.
Brunson’s latest outburst continues a strong run of form for the 27-year-old, who has topped 30 points in several recent games. Against Miami, he provided offense in every quarter, helping New York withstand a late push by the Heat to secure the victory.
New York’s win improves its record as the calendar approaches the midway point of the season, while Miami is left looking to regroup after falling just short at home.
