Brunson scores 38 as Knicks defeat Heat to force Game 6

Jalen Brunson had 38 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while playing all 48 minutes in a season-extending performance, and the New York Knicks beat the visiting Miami Heat 112-103 on Wednesday night in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Canada's RJ Barrett added 26 points and Julius Randle had 24 for the fifth-seeded Knicks, who stayed alive in hopes of reaching the conference finals for the first time since 2000. They did that by getting by the Heat in seven games in the second round, a possibility that still exists.
