Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks are looking to lock up a Game 1 win against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The New York Knicks are the story of the 2024-25 NBA postseason.

Jalen Brunson powered the New York Knicks to a lopsided 119-81 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of their second-round playoff series on Friday night.

The New York Knicks superstar shared his thoughts on the Indiana Pacers' forward's incredible late-game performance.

Tyrese Haliburton hit a shot that hit the back of the rim, touched the top of Madison Square Garden and then swished through the bucket. Initially adjudged as a game-winner, it ended up being ruled a 2-point shot.

As soon as the superstar guard sat down with reporters -- and just after one started asking a question -- he interrupted (he apologized for the interruption, too) to send his best to Jayson Tatum, who suffered what could be a devastating injury late in the playoff contest.

As a result, former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins delivered a shocking claim regarding Brunson and Los Angeles Lakers forward Luka Doncic on who he would rather have. "I'm going to take Jalen Brunson because he's still playing," Cousins said. "That's obvious. One guy's at home and one guy's playing. The guy at home can't help me right now.

Right here is the great big Broadway chance that Jalen Brunson has, starting on Wednesday night against the Pacers: He has the chance to be the Knicks’ Mark Messier.

Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart all won a national championship together at Villanova in 2016 (the latter two grabbed another in 2018). The camaraderie and trust that come with such a longstanding relationship are invaluable. It also makes for a lighthearted atmosphere.
