Jalen Brunson with a team-high 29 points. Known largely as an elite defender, Anunoby has been relatively consistent on the offensive end during the postseason, having tallied at least 20 points in four of his seven appearances. The two teams will lock horns again Wednesday, when the Knicks will look to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
