Jalen Brunson's 41-point game not enough as Knicks knocked out of playoffs.

Jalen Brunson's heroic performance of 41 points and five made 3-pointers was not enough to extend the Knicks' season as they lost to the Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Brunson played 45 gutty minutes and made one big shot after another to keep his team within shouting distance. However, his late turnover while trying to pass to Julius Randle proved costly. Despite the loss, Brunson had an awesome postseason, proving to be worth every penny of the four-year, $104 million deal the Knicks gave him last summer.
