The Knicks escape the 76ers with a thrilling 118-115 victory in Game 6 of this first-round classic.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson had an all-time series during the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers, culminating with a dominant 41-point performance to close out the Sixers in Game 6 on Thursday night.
During the final four games of the series, Brunson truly came into his own, scoring a total of 167 points during that span. He scored no fewer than 39 points in any of those four games, making him the first player since Michael Jordan in 1993 to score 37 or more points in four consecutive playoff games, according to Justin Russo of Russo Writes.
Brunson’s 41-point, 12-assist night — his third straight 40-point outburst — was badly needed to hold off Joel Embiid’s huge effort in a Game 6 instant classic.
