jalen brunson and quentin grimes are definitely testing negative for cartilage after game 5 – 10:04 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Kyle Lowry’s and Jalen Brunson’s Bad Places are just the two of them arguing in perpetuity over whether a foul is a block or charge – 9:29 PM

Barbara Barker @meanbarb
I don’t think anyone wants this game more than Jalen Brunson. His fingerprints are all over this game. He has played every minutes and is refusing to lose. – 9:04 PM

Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
The Knicks are on a 53-30 run over the last 16:24. They’re up 13. Jalen Brunson has 26 points and has sat for a single second yet. – 9:00 PM

Barbara Barker @meanbarb
Oh my, Knicks outscore Heat, 36-23, in the second quarter. Jalen Brunson’s fingerprints are everywhere and Knicks lead, 50-47, at half. – 8:38 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes both played the entire first half. Might change some in the second half, considering Josh Hart’s foul trouble probably contributed to Grimes’ minutes, but Knicks are definitely managing this thing with desperation. – 8:38 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Julius Randle knocks down a step back 3 over Bam Adebayo to give the Knicks a 50-47 lead entering the half.
Randle, RJ Barrett, Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes have scored 46 of the Knicks’ 50 points so far. – 8:37 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Jalen Brunson was fuming at the referees. Julius comes from the bench to hold him back.
Heat 33, Knicks 32 – 8:17 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jalen Brunson would probably be a great baseball player. Dude is so wildly coordinated. – 8:13 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jalen Brunson just got fouled by 2 dudes and it went in. That was absurd. – 8:12 PM

Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
Obi Toppin and Jalen Brunson bring some zazz back to MSG and the Knicks are within 2. – 8:08 PM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

Knicks’ Derrick Rose sits down with @Stadium: “No one knows your journey but you…even with me saying that I was going to win MVP, my mom probably didn’t even believe me.”
