The New York Knicks are through to the semifinals of the NBA Cup after routing the Toronto Raptors, 117-101, in the quarterfinals at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday.
The Knicks will face the Orlando Magic in Las Vegas on Saturday. The Magic beat the Miami Heat , 117-108, to advance to the next round.
Jalen Brunson carried New York anew with a game-high 35 points on 13-of-19 shooting, including 6-of-9 from deep. He also had three rebounds and four steals.
After the win, he was interviewed on “NBA on Prime,” with Udonis Haslem asking him about a specific play wherein Mikal Bridges “ran all the way around the baseline” before getting the pass from Brunson. Haslem claimed that he hadn't seen that since the Heat battled with the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals a few years ago.
