Brunson fell one point short of the organization's single-game scoring record Friday.
It was a night of almosts for and the . Brunson fell one point shy of the organization’s single-game scoring record Friday, finishing a loss to the with 61 points. Longtime Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony went for 62 points in January 2014. Of course, Anthony’s historic performance, which came during a 125-96 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats, was a greater cause for celebration than Brunson’s landmark, even if 61 points means a new career high for the point guard.
He is the first Knicks player ever to make 25 shots in a game and also the first to take 47. No NBA player has chucked so many field-goal attempts since Kobe Bryant famously put up 50 during his final game in 2016. Brunson’s scoring performance now ranks as the second-best in the organization’s history — one point behind Anthony’s and one ahead of Hall of Famer Bernard King’s 60-point outburst in December 1984.
