Brunson reached at least 30 points in three consecutive games, serving as the catalyst behind a 3-1 stretch for the New York Knicks.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson has been named the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week after a dominant stretch saw him score at least 30 points in three consecutive games.
The weekly accolade is the latest sign that Brunson has lived up to the $104 million contract bestowed to him last offseason. As the Knicks try to separate themselves from Play-In Tournament territory in the early stages of the season’s second half, Brunson has played a major role in the past seven games, which has seen New York amass a 6-1 record.
Brunson and the Knicks (25-19) trail the Toronto Raptors by a 25-19 score after the first quarter of a holiday matinee at Madison Square Garden.
