He scored 37 points on 12-for-21 shooting from the field and 4-for-6 shooting from deep to go along with 5 assists.
The Knicks have been rolling, winning 3 games in a row and they are 4-1 since Brunson returned from injury.

Do you like the NBA Cup?
The Knicks have officially become the only team in the NBA to advance to The NBA Cup quarterfinals in all 3 seasons of the tournament’s existence.
The Knicks will head into the NBA Cup knockout rounds as the No. 3 seed, as they will take on the No. 2 seed Toronto Raptors.
For as dominant as the Knicks have been during the NBA Cup era, they have never made it to the semifinals, as they will be looking to change that.
The New York Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors will have a playoff feel to it
The Knicks vs. Raptors will be an exciting match-up between two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
This game will feature players going up against their former team. RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley were traded by the Knicks to acquire OG Anunoby. They will have a chance to get some revenge over their old squad.
Meanwhile, Anunoby is currently out with a strained left hamstring, and he’s expected to miss a couple of weeks. The game will be held on December 9th or 10th, so there’s a good chance he will miss it.
Either way, this will still be an exciting matchup between two teams who could meet again come playoff time.
