When packing for team travel, Jalen Brunson’s not bringing just any knickknacks. As captain of the New York Knicks, the star point guard is constantly prepping for high-profile games — and with voting now underway for this year’s NBA All-Stars game, more might be added to his agenda soon.

Knicks 125, 76ers 119 Jalen Brunson finishes with 38 points as the Knicks escape with an overtime victory over the 76ers, who have now lost four in a row. Tyrese Maxey had 33

The New York Knicks bested the Philadelphia 76ers, holding on strong after the 76ers got some second half momentum and sent the game to overtime.

Jalen Brunson scored 44 points despite missing part of the third quarter with an apparent injury, and the New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 140-106 on Sunday.

Josh Hart pirouetted as he swiped the ball from Guerschon Yabusele, then floated the pass to Mikal Bridges for the alley-oop slam, then screamed as Bridges hung on the rim with one hand. That was the exclamation point on a Wednesday night when the “Nova Knicks’” fingerprints were all over a 125-119 overtime victory over the shorthanded 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.
