Whatever New York Knicks point guard endured on Sunday, his sense of humor was left perfectly in tact. Brunson stepped away from the Madison Square Garden floor during the third quarter of the weekend-closing game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to an apparent injury scare but returned in style to cap off a 44-point outing in just 29 minutes en route to a 140-106 triumph.

New York's captain recorded 44 points on 16/26 shooting throughout the game while adding six assists and five rebounds in the win. More importantly, he outscored and played another All- NBA point guard in Damian Lillard when it mattered most.
