Brunson scores 50 points as Knicks beat Suns 139-122

Jalen Brunson scored 50 points for the Knicks, making all nine 3-point attempts, leading them to a 139-122 win over Phoenix.

New York Knicks guard, Brunson, had a stellar performance, scoring a career-high 50 points and making all nine of his 3-point attempts in their victory over the Phoenix Suns. His impressive shooting display, making 17 of 23 shots and 12 of 12 in the second half, was a key factor in the Knicks' win. Brunson's incredible performance also included five steals, making him the first Knicks player in franchise history to score 50 points while making nine 3s.

The Suns, who lost star guard Bradley Beal to an ankle injury in the first quarter, struggled to keep up with the Knicks' aggressive play. Despite leading by 10 midway through the third quarter, they could not maintain their lead, ultimately losing to the Knicks.

Injuries have been a recurring issue for Beal this season, and his absence from the game poses another challenge for the Suns. Coach Frank Vogel expressed his disappointment for Beal, emphasizing the frustration of dealing with injuries throughout the season.

Following the game, former Suns player Shawn Marion was honored with a place in the Suns' Ring of Honor, recognizing his significant contributions to the team during his career.

The Knicks will face the Los Angeles Clippers in their next game, aiming to carry the momentum from their recent victory.
