Jalen Brunson scored 31 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 22 rebounds and the New York Knicks beat the Orlando Magic 100-91 on Sunday night. Mikal Bridges had 17 points for the Knicks and Josh Hart added 12 points,

Brunson is still the prolific, quirky scorer who, despite his size, doesn’t often leave a game with fewer than 20 points. He has gone from an elite 3-point shooter to a more elite 3-point scorer. He still owns a few houses in the midrange.

The first quarter was a flashback to last season’s version of Brunson, the relentless scorer who carried the Knicks to 50 wins and the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed. The rest of the game, however, was a reflection of Brunson’s evolved role in a revamped Knicks lineup.
