The New York Knicks bucked the trends and then some on Sunday afternoon-into-evening at Madison Square Garden. Despite a relatively brief injury scare, Jalen Brunson led the way for the Knicks with an efficient shooting effort en route to a 140-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

If that was truly the case, New York's win on Sunday showed exactly why the Knicks remain a top contender. The Knicks blew through the Milwaukee Bucks in dominating fashion at Madison Square Garden. They led by 13 at the half, 19 at the end of three, and ended up resting most of their starters late in the game.
