Jalen Brunson Achieves Rare Feat: Fourth NBA Player to Score 40 Points in Four Consecutive Postseason Games

 


Jalen Brunson has joined an elite group as the fourth player in NBA history to achieve 40 or more points in four consecutive postseason games, a feat not seen since Michael Jordan accomplished it in the 1993 NBA Finals.

In a remarkable display, Brunson reached the 40-point mark with a stellar performance in the fourth quarter on Monday night, ultimately tallying 43 points to lead the Knicks to a thrilling 121-117 victory in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers. Despite trailing by nine early in the fourth quarter, Brunson's 21-point eruption in the final period spurred the Knicks to victory.

While Lakers legend Jerry West holds the record with six consecutive games of 40 or more points, achieved during the 1965 postseason, notable players like Bernard King for the Knicks in 1984 and Jordan on his path to his third consecutive championship have also accomplished this impressive feat.

Brunson's scoring prowess was evident throughout the first-round series against Philadelphia, where he posted impressive performances of 47, 40, and 41 points. He emerged as the leading scorer in the first round with an average of 35.5 points per game.
