Jalen Brunson scored a career-high 38 points, Julius Randle had 25 points and 13 rebounds, and the Knicks beat the Spurs on Wednesday night.
What a difference he made in the rematch.
"He's got it all," Popovich said."He's got the skill, but he's got the toughness. He's got the basketball IQ to go with it. Just a hell of a competitor." Brunson made the go-ahead basket with 3:02 to play, then knocked down a pair of jumpers to push the lead to 116-112 with 1:17 to go.
