Jalen Brunson Leads Historic 22-Point Comeback in Game 1 Win

Brunson powered the Knicks to a 115-104 overtime victory against the Cavaliers, recording 38 points (15-29 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 46 minutes. He spearheaded a 22-point fourth-quarter comeback by relentlessly attacking James Harden off the dribble.
