Brunson dropped four 3-pointers and put up 29 points, leading the Knicks to a 128-92 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Brunson even played reporter, asking Hart how he felt about posting “the highest plus/minus in NBA history?”

Well, they staggered my minutes with you. So it was easy,” Hart said.

Quentin Grimes contributed 19 points, while Isaiah Hartenstein added 17, aiding New York in securing its third consecutive victory since acquiring OG Anunoby through a trade with Toronto. Donte DiVincenzo also notched 14 points, making four successful 3-pointers.

This game was all Knicks. The team hit 18 3s and made 24 of 25 free throws on the night.

The way we’ve been able to gel so fast, it’s been great,” Brunson said. “We’ve just got to continue to get better.”

Embiid set a new benchmark for the franchise with 16 consecutive games scoring 30 points and achieved 15 consecutive games with 30 points and 10 rebounds.

It just wasn’t enough. The Knicks quickly dominated this game, and their away fans grew louder as time passed, echoing “Go New York, Go New York, Go” in the closing moments of the decisive win. The team celebrated another win with Anunoby contributing 11 points.

With 15 points to his name, Miles McBride secured a 34-30 lead by sinking two 3-pointers in the last 90 seconds of the first quarter. From that point onward, Brunson assumed control, showcasing the star quality he has developed in the NBA. Philly fans knew what was coming after watching Brunson’s three seasons at Villanova.

Next up the Knicks travel to Washington to play Saturday.
