Jalen Brunson delivered a strong performance in Game 1 against the Hawks, scoring 28 points and contributing seven assists with only two turnovers. Despite struggling with his two-point shots, Brunson’s precision from beyond the arc proved vital. With Atlanta’s perimeter defenders hounding him, Brunson’s output underscores his ability to adapt under pressure. The Knicks aim for a 2-0 series lead in Game 2 on Monday night.
