NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson put his team on his back on Saturday night. However, his performance is merely a footnote in the Knicks' 134-128 loss to the Clippers.
Clippers forward Nic Batum drilled a 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game and send it to overtime where the Knicks could not capitalize on their valiant effort.
Brunson racked up 41 points on an incredibly efficient 14-of-19 shooting from the field and led his team from down 15 — which reached as high as 17 — entering the final period, even garnering a three-point lead with seconds to go in the fourth quarter.
