Jalen Brunson had Villanova on his mind.
Brunson poured in 14 of his game-high 41 points in the fourth quarter to help the New York Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 118-115 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, doing so in a familiar setting at the Wells Fargo Center, where he played some of the biggest games of his college career for the Wildcats.
At one point, Brunson, after hitting a clutch shot in the fourth quarter, appeared to look skyward at Villanova's 2016 championship banner hanging in the rafters.
