Jalen Brunson's 33 Points, 11 Assists Not Enough as Knicks Fall to Magic

AutoDraft Pro AI

Jalen Brunson recorded a double-double with 33 points on 12-of-21 shooting and 11 assists, along with three rebounds, but it wasn't enough to prevent the New York Knicks from a 133-121 loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Brunson, who previously missed two games due to an ankle injury against the Magic, led the Knicks to an early 11-2 lead and had 23 points by halftime. Despite his efforts, the Knicks' defense struggled, particularly in the fourth quarter, as Orlando shot 55% from the field.
