JUST IN: Patrick mahomes Attend BRUNSON GAMES: As Brunson scores 45 in second straight 40-point game, Knicks beat Bulls 128-117

CHICAGO (AP) — Jalen Brunson scored 45 in his second straight 40-point game, and the New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls 128-117 on Tuesday night.

Brunson delivered his 10th 40-point game this season after scoring 43 in a win at Milwaukee on Sunday. He joined Bernard King and Patrick Ewing as the only Knicks players with multiple streaks of 40-point games in one season. Brunson, who played at Adlai Stevenson High School in suburban Lincolnshire, Illinois, nailed seven 3-pointers.“Outside of the city, where I went to high school, it’s a special place,” Brunson said. “I have a lot of people from there come to the game and support me. That means more to me than scoring 45.”

OG Anunoby scored 24. Donte DiVincenzo hit a heave from midcourt to end the first half and finished with 21 points, helping fourth-place New York win its second in a row after losing four of five.
