Jalen Brunson has played 440 NBA games, and 162 for the Knicks, but this was the best dishing night of his career.
The All-Star point guard recorded a career-high 17 assists to help the Knicks tie a franchise record with 45 in Monday’s 145-118 win over the Nuggets.
“For me it’s great to have that career high, but it’s a credit to [my teammates],” said Brunson, who also scored 23 points. “Everyone in this locker room works really hard. They put a lot into their game. I mean, literally, without them that wouldn’t be possible.”
When informed that former Villanova teammate and podcast co-host Josh Hart said the 17-assist night was “probably [something] you’ll never see again,” Brunson retorted, “Yeah, Josh is funny.
