Jalen Brunson's 47 points power Knicks to 3-1 lead over 76ers - ESPN

PHILADELPHIA — Fresh off setting multiple New York Knicks playoff records and powering his team to a thrilling 97-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 of their first-round series behind a 47-point, 10-assist performance, Jalen Brunson was asked if his accomplishments are something he'll bask in now or save for later.

«I'll look back when I retire,» Brunson said. «Seriously. It's great right now, it helped us get a win.

»But it's not going to do anything for us going forward."

Knicks fans, however, will be doing plenty of basking, particularly the thousands of them who traveled down Interstate 95 to invade Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon. They watched Brunson put up his latest incredible performance in a season full of them to give New York a 3-1 advantage in this best-of-seven affair.

Game 5 is Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, where New York will try to advance to the second round and face either the Milwaukee Bucks or Indiana Pacers.

«One at a time,» Joel Embiid, who had 27 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists but shot 7-for-19 overall and missed all five shots he took in the fourth quarter, said afterward when asked about his mindset as his team faces elimination. «We know we're good enough. Tonight, we didn't make shots, so we just got to keep trusting ourselves.

»We got no pressure. We're the 7-seed down 3-1, a lot of guys are hurt.… I don't know why we would feel the pressure. So we should just go out there and go out and play our best basketball and one at a time — win one, come back home, win another one and then Game 7 over there. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. No pressure."

Embiid's comments aside, the 76ers were under pressure from Brunson every second the Knicks star was on
