Jalen Brunson delivered a historic NBA Finals debut, leading the New York Knicks to a thrilling Game 1 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
Brunson finished with 30 points, the second-most ever by a Knicks player in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, trailing only Willis Reed’s 37-point performance.
In the fourth quarter, Brunson and OG Anunoby took over. Brunson scored 13 points and Anunoby added 12 as the duo combined for 25 points — outscoring the entire Spurs team, which scored 21 points in the period.
The Knicks closed the game on an 11-0 run to steal Game 1 on the road and extend their winning streak to 12 consecutive playoff games.
With the victory, New York tied the 1999 Spurs for the second-longest winning streak within a single postseason in NBA history.
Only the 2017 Warriors (15) have won more consecutive games in a single postseason.

greatest free agent signing ever
11-0 run to end the game. My goodness
Brunson got that mamba mentality.
Some of these shots are insane. Top notch defense, much bigger defender…but brunson is pure skill and heart
This brutha movin mad
Brunson is a smaller Michael Jordan that plays closer to the ground. He’s got the same will to win and the ability to take over games in the 4th quarter that cannot be taught! His game isn’t as beautiful as MJ’s but the way he handles pressure and creates whatever angle is needed for his shot to go in is spellbinding!
Now yall see who made Luka better in Dallas lol
Seen the caption and was just curious, in what way was this historic? No shade, I just must be oblivious. Im not a fan of either team but liked the performance.
Thought wemby was the chosen one but he became the frozen one.
This is wild. 2 national championships, 1 player of the year, and about to get a chip all with his Nova boys. In America’s most entertaining city haha.
Jalen is a Superstar
Brunson has so many moves and counters off of those moves that’s it’s hard for defenders to figure out what move he’s gonna do
Best in the world.
King of Flops in San Antonio lol Wemby
