Jalen Brunson became the fourth player to score 40 or more points in four consecutive postseason games, the first since Michael Jordan in the 1993 NBA Finals.
Brunson reached 40 with a big fourth quarter Monday night to rally the Knicks in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers.
Lakers Hall of Famer Jerry West holds the record with six consecutive games of 40 or more points, set during the 1965 postseason.
Brunson finished the first-round series against Philadelphia with games of 47, 40, and 41 points. He was the leading scorer in the first round with 35.5 points per game.
