On April 16, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs, the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers 101-97 away, ushering in the start of the playoffs.
In fact, the Knicks have not been very concerned over the years, because they do not have superstars like James, Durant, Curry, Alphabet Brother, Jokic, Doncic in the team, many people are not optimistic about how far the Knicks can go, but at least today won the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers' Mitchell once scored 71 points in the regular season, so today's game was fierce.
But today the Knicks won this game, one of the indispensable contributions, he is Brunson, this game 24 shot 11, 27 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, helping the team win the first playoff victory.
Last season, Brunson and Doncic led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals, losing to the Warriors, averaging 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 35 minutes per game in 18 playoff games, before Brunson expired his contract with the Lone Rangers and became a free agent. On June 30, 2022, Brunson and the New York Knicks signed a four-year, $104 million contract with a final season as a player option.
Randle praised Brunson in an interview after the game, saying, "He's doing great, he's in control of the game," and even Callie Caplan, a reporter with the Lone Ranger, tweeted after the game: "Brunson, man! Who could have predicted that he would improve to this point, with such a stable performance and output? Certainly not anyone who has seen him in Dallas for four years...", expressed surprise.
It's a mistake that the Lone Ranger didn't leave Brunson behind, and he couldn't even make the playoffs this year, so Irving is expensive, right?
