The Knicks enjoyed something close to a family reunion in South Philadelphia, and then Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart sent everyone from close-knit New York back home with a series victory. Latest for @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/how-the-knicks… – 3:26 AM

Jalen Brunson has scored 39+ points in 4 straight playoff games, first to do so since Michael Jordan in 1993. Not bad for a kid who once told MJ, “No, you’ll mess it up” when His Airness offered to sign a 6-year-old Brunson’s Wizards Jordan jersey in 2003. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 12:49 AM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Jalen Brunson has now scored 519 points in 17 playoff games as a Knick. That’s an average of 30.52 per game.
Only two players in NBA history have averaged more points for their postseason careers: Michael Jordan and former teammate Luka Doncic. pic.twitter.com/OGpjXvnWyQ – 12:37 AM

Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Jalen Brunson played 10 minutes in a Game 7 loss only three years ago. That was Rick Carlisle’s final game as the Mavs head coach.
They’ll meet again next round. – 12:12 AM

Alan Hahn @alanhahn
There have been two 40-point, 10-assist games in the NBA playoffs so far this season.
Jalen Brunson has both.

Peter Edmiston @peteredmiston
I just cannot believe how good Jalen Brunson is. Those numbers he put up this series are absurd and he’s an even better leader than those numbers show. What a player. – 11:51 PM

Erik Slater @erikslater_
Jalen Brunson averaging 41.8 points over the last four games of a series to eliminate Joel Embiid and the Sixers is not something any NBA fan could’ve saw coming two years ago.
Brunson’s ascension is such an incredible story. – 11:51 PM

Jalen Brunson just became the 2nd player in NBA playoff history, joining Westbrook, to average 40 points & 10 assists over any 4 game stretch. – 11:48 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Jalen Brunson just outplayed an MVP playing an MVP-caliber game on the road in a closeout game.
That shit does not happen often. This dude is special. – 11:48 PM

WHAT A BATTLE! Respect the hell out of Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey. Couple of tough dudes with bright futures! – 11:45 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Final: Knicks win 118-115, take the series 4-2.
Jalen Brunson led the way with 41/12 for New York. Joel Embiid had 39/13 for the Sixers.
Sixers starters outside of Embiid shot just 13-36 for 34 points, including just 6-18 from Maxey and zero points in 29 minutes from Harris. – 11:43 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Final: Knicks 118, Sixers 115
Buddy Hield’s buzzer heave misses, and New York survives a series that’ll go down as one of the most iconic you’ll ever see.
New York will face Indiana in the East semis beginning Monday.
Jalen Brunson had 41 and 12.
Joel Embiid had 39 and 13. – 11:43 PM

Jalen Brunson to the line with Knicks up 1. Philly has no timeouts left. They gotta go after whatever happens with Brunson. #Sixers – 11:40 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Sixers double off of Josh Hart to get the ball out of Jalen Brunson’s hands.
Of course Hart makes it.
114-111 with 24.4 seconds left. Timeout Philly. – 11:35 PM

Jeff Wade @SkinWade
It’s inspiring that Jalen Brunson turned himself into an MVP candidate. He’s an amazing dude that everyone genuinely likes. I never saw him turning himself into a player that could carry a team into contention on his back. Just awesome for him. Amazing story. – 11:34 PM

Zach Kram @zachkram
Jalen Brunson is the 4th player in NBA playoff history with 4 straight games of 39+ points:

– Bernard King (1984)
– Jerry West (six straight in 1965) – 11:31 PM

Jalen Brunson scores again to put the Knicks up 107-99 with 3:26 to go. The “Let’s go Knicks” chants are beginning to get loud in the Wells Fargo Center. #Sixers – 11:20 PM

Jalen Brunson is different. Been different. – 11:13 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Paul Reed is coming in to start the fourth. Reed played really well in the first half. We’ll see how Philly does with Joel Embiid (33 and 12) on the bench.
Jalen Brunson is in for the Knicks. – 10:56 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Jalen Brunson is Trae Young with New York PR example No. 400 from this series – 10:50 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Sixers 54, Knicks 51
An unbelievable series continues with a wild opening 24 minutes. The Knicks led by 22, only for the Sixers to close the half with a 43-18 run to take the lead.
Joel Embiid and Buddy Hield have 17 for Philly.
Jalen Brunson 16 for NYK. – 10:09 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Huge call there by Scott Foster, who gives Joel Embiid a second foul on a play where he scored.
Embiid checks out, Jalen Brunson immediately scores, and now it’s a 6-point game instead of a 2-point game in a matter of seconds. – 10:01 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
We’ve got the makings of a blowout on our hands.
The Knicks lead the 76ers, 28-9, here st the 4:01 mark of the first quarter.
Jalen Brunson has 10 points, Donte DiVincenzo’s hit three 3s, and the Knicks appear to be ready for Indiana. – 9:27 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
The Knicks have opened up a 28-9 lead here in the 1st. Joel Embiid is 3/4 from the floor for 9 points. The rest of his team is scoreless on 0/7 shooting. Knicks have 10 points from Jalen Brunson and 9 from Donte DiVincenzo. #Sixers – 9:26 PM

Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
Jalen Brunson hits 3 free throws, the Knicks’ first of the night. It might seem like a small thing but the Knicks missed 8-of-24 FTs in Game 5, including one by Josh Hart in last 20 seconds. Knicks have been 2nd-worst FT shooting team in the playoffs so far. – 9:18 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
The NBA is officiating Tyrese Maxey and Jalen Brunson so differently it’s weird. Do something Rich Paul!

Jalen Brunson:
What did you think of offensive process during the overtime period?
Not good.
What can be better?
My decision making.
In terms of?
Keeping it with the New York Knicks and not throwing it to the fans in the front row. That would be very helpful. – 1:13 PM
