Brunson Has Career Playoff Game as Knicks Top Sixers in Game 4

KNICKS 97 - SIXERS 92 -- NYK leads Series 3-1 

Jalen Brunson is a beast! The Knicks point guard put up a performance for the ages when he broke the Knicks franchise record for points in a playoff game, scoring 47 in the Knicks 97-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly. 

 The Knicks lead the best of seven series 3-1. New York can finish it off on Tuesday night in Game 5 at the Garden. 

"We just kept fighting and found a way to win," Brunson said immediately afterwards on ESPN. "I'll look back when I retire. Seriously this is great right now, it helped us get a win, but it won't do anything for us going forward," he added in the postgame. 

Brunson willed the Knicks all day. His floater with 6:40 to go in the second quarter, tied the game at 29. He later gave the Knicks a 34-32 lead on a 15-foot jumper with 5:31 to go before halftime. 

Still the game was a struggle for the Knicks, who found themselves down 10 points, 61-51 with 7:05 to go in the third quarter. 

But Brunson and the Knicks didn't give up. With 1:32 to go in the quarter, Brunson's huge 26-foot three ball, answered a loud three by Joel Embiid, bringing the Knicks back to within one-point at 73-72. 

Finally with five seconds to go in the third, Brunson hit another floating jumper to tie the game at 76. He then converted on a free-throw to give the Knicks a narrow 77-76 lead. 

No matter the situation, Brunson was there to pull the Knicks out of the fire. In the fourth quarter alone, he was connecting on both free throws and jumpers to keep the Knicks in front of the Sixers. He wouldn't let them fail. 

For their part, O.G. Anunoby posted 16-points, and Miles McBride added 13-points of his own in the victory.
