"You'd be surprised at how humble my circle keeps me, and I love it that way. I don't want to change,'' says Jalen Brunson, who constantly hears ''MVP!'' chants but thinks he can get better.

Brunson will never forget the first chance he had to win a game. It's helped him make the clutch shots, including Wednesday against Atlanta.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jalen Brunson had 42 points and 10 assists, breaking a tie with Carmelo Anthony for third on the franchise list with his 18th 40-point game with the Knicks, and New York beat the Houston Rockets 124-118 on Monday night.
