With that strong performance, Brunson is now averaging an impressive 25.2 points per game. The team also got some help courtesy of Karl-Anthony Towns, who dropped a double-double on 34 points and ten rebounds.

The Knicks were working as a unit and finished the game with 30 assists. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now posted at least 25 assists in six consecutive contests.

Meanwhile, the Jazz couldn't handle the Spurs on Thursday and fell 126-118. Utah was up 66-46 in the second but couldn't hold on to the lead.
