Locked in a tie game late in the fourth quarter, the New York Knicks needed a hero. Good thing they had Jalen Brunson. Desperately needing to avoid dropping the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals at home, the Knicks called upon Brunson to save them in Game 2. Working off a screen from Isaiah Hartenstein against the Miami Heat, Brunson had plenty of room to pull the trigger on a go-ahead 3-pointer with 4:07 remaining. The Knicks never trailed again, and Brunson’s game-high 30 points — along with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a 6 of 10 mark from downtown — were the catalyst in the 111-105 win on May 2, 2023 that sent the series back to South Beach tied 1-1. · May 2, 2023
