New York Knicks superstar guard Jalen Brunson provided some insight into his psyche following the Knicks' shocking overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night.

The Knicks went on a surge in the second quarter to take a seven-point lead at halftime. In fact, they scored 69 points and shot 51% from the field and 42.1% from 3-point range while three of their players scored at least a dozen points.

Despite the loss, former Dallas Maverick Jalen Brunson had himself a game: 43 points and 5 assists on 15/25 shooting, including 12/14 from the free-throw line. He tied himself, Bernard King, and Willis Reed for the 9th-highest scoring playoff game in Knicks history.

The Knicks took two of three during this year’s season series, with newcomer Karl-Anthony Towns averaging 30.3 points and 12.0 rebounds, including a 40-point effort in a 128-115 road win on Feb. 11. Hart also registered a season-high 30 points in that game.

The Indiana Pacers completed one of the most epic playoff comebacks in NBA history on Wednesday night. They were down nine with 51 seconds left and still ended up winning the game. Indiana wouldn't have come back to win the game without Tyrese Haliburton.

The Knicks would win Game 4 two days later to close ... with Jackson recording the first triple-double in the NBA playoffs in franchise history with 22 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists.
