The fourth player in history! Brunson has 30+ in the single-season playoffs, comparing with Joe Coway, the Knicks have successfully extended their lives

NBA Eastern Conference Finals G5, the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 111-94 at home, tied the score to 2-3, successfully resusciting their lives!

In this game, Jaylen Brunson, the star of the Knicks, once again made a super performance, making 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, with extremely high efficiency.

With this victory, Brunson officially became the fourth Eastern Conference defender in NBA history to 30+ in 10 games in a single season playoffs, ranking among the legendary ranks as Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson and Dwyne Wade. At the beginning of the game, Brunson showed the "big heart" trait. In the first quarter, he opened fire with 6 of 10 shots and scored 15 points, and made no mistakes outside the three-point line. The change of direction and emergency stop jump shot during the breakthrough made the Pacers lose the defense line.

When his teammates are in a low state, he can always tear off his opponent's defense with his signature mid-range jump shot; when the Pacers try to narrow the gap, he becomes a passer master, assisting Towns and Hart in succession to score.

data shows that when Brunson is on the court, the Knicks have an offensive efficiency of up to 125.3 and a staggering +22 net score. Under his leadership, the Knicks team led 11 points in the half and 17 points in three quarters, finally easily won the game and dragged the series back to Indiana.

After this game, Brunson has 10 games in the playoffs this season, becoming the fourth Eastern Conference defender in NBA history to achieve this achievement. The top three are:

Michael Jordan (multiple achievements)

Allen Iverson (11 games in a single season in 2001)

Dwyane Wade (10 games in a single season in 2006).

What's more terrifying is that in the past three seasons, Brunson has accumulated 21 single games of 30+, ranking first in the league, leading Tatum (19 times), Jokic (18 times) and Alexander (17 times).

After this game, the Knicks successfully avoided 1-4 and dragged the series into G6. Historical data shows that the probability of teams leading 3-1 in the NBA playoffs is as high as 95.4%, but Brunson obviously does not want to give up easily. In the next game, if the Knicks can win again away, the series will enter the tiebreak battle, creating a historical reversal possibility; and if the Pacers win, they will return to the finals for the first time since 2000.
