In Sunday’s win over the Detroit Pistons, Jalen Brunson scored 27 points for the New York Knicks and drew three charges, putting him into a three-tie with Kevin Love and Kenrich Williams for first place in the league.
“If he’s tied for first, it is good, because now he has something to work toward,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said, via ESPN. “That says to me that you are sacrificing yourself for the team – sometimes it is taking a charge, setting a screen or being the first player on the floor. That all goes into winning.”
