It did you see I know you saw it if you watch basketball because you shouldn’t be seeing it they won again last night beating the Indiana Pacers 109 to 105 at Madison Square Garden for their ninth straight win in a row and obviously move into third place in the Eastern

Conference threatening for that number two overall seed in the Eastern Conference they did it without Julius Randle they did it without ogan anovi they did it without Mitchell Robinson and I obviously it was largely due in part to first time Allstar himself Jaylen Brunson who played lights out dropping
