In the New York Knicks’ previous matchup against the Chicago Bulls 2 days ago, their star Jalen Brunson failed to score the game-winning basket. This led to the Knicks’ loss. However, this time around, in their most recent matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, Brunson made amends for his previous miss. He scored a last-minute basket to ensure his side won in an NBA Cup matchup.

The Knicks trailed the Nets by one, 122-121 with 11 seconds remaining in the game. At that time, Brunson caught the ball on the left wing against Dorian Finney-Smith. After creating some space with a single jab step, Brunson drew from beyond the arc and easily swished the ball through the net to make amends for his previous matchup.

In addition, his teammate Mikal Bridges also made an important block after Brunson’s basket which secured the Knicks’ win.

To win, the Knicks had to put themselves through a lot of hardship. Due to a knee injury, Karl-Anthony Towns did not play. At 4:15 in the game, OG Anunoby fouled out. However, Brunson and Bridges made sure that they secured victory for their side. It’s important to note that, the Nets made a great comeback after going 21 points down vs Knicks. However, they couldn’t clinch the game due to Brunson’s heroics.

Aside from Brunson, Mikal Bridges contributed an effective 22 points in 41 minutes in the Cup matchup. The Knicks acquired Bridges from the Nets in the summer for a plethora of draft picks.
