Jalen Brunson has found his footing. After a wayward Game 4 due to a lingering foot injury, Brunson stepped up in Game 5 for the Knicks to lead a 121-91 victory over the Pacers with 44 points, seven assists, four rebounds and a 51 percent field-goal percentage.

Brunson’s performance Tuesday made him the first player with five 40-point games in a playoff run since LeBron James in 2018 and marks the second most 40-plus point games in a single postseason in Knicks  playoff history. 

He now trails just behind Bernard King, who produced six 40-plus efforts games in the 1984 postseason. 

This was Brunson’s second 40-plus-point game of the series against the Pacers after producing 43 points in Game 1.

Brunson gave the Knicks a scare in leaving Game 2 with a foot injury, returning as a shell of himself to finish out the night, and struggled to do much the following game.

Even though it still looked possible until Saturday evening, the Rangers were never going to go 16-0 in the playoffs.

The WrestleMania 40 weekend in Philadelphia was not just a celebration of wrestling but a symphony of record-breaking events, star appearances, and thrilling matches. 

The City of Brotherly Love played host to one of the most electrifying weekends in WWE history, with each event contributing to an unforgettable spectacle. 

What started as a one-night-only wrestling card in New York’s Madison Square Garden has now turned into a multi-day-mania that takes bids from major markets to bring this annual traveling show to their cities.

The weekend was headlined by the return of Hollywood’s highest-paid actor, The Rock, to his wrestling roots. Teaming up with his cousin, the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns, they faced the formidable duo of the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes and Seth Freakin’ Rollins. 

This match was more than a wrestling bout; it was a fusion of entertainment, family legacy, and athletic prowess, highlighting the sheer magnetism of WrestleMania.

Two days after completing a four-game sweep against the Washington Capitals, the New York Rangers know who their second-round opponent will be in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Rangers will face the Carolina Hurricanes in the best-of-7 Eastern Conference Second Round. The start date for the series is not yet known.

The Hurricanes eliminated the New York Islanders with a 6-3 win in Game 5 down in Raleigh on Tuesday.

So, the stage is set for what should be a doozy of a series between the top two teams from the Metropolitan Division. The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Rangers finished first in the Metro this season, setting franchise records for wins (55) and points (114). The Hurricanes were second in the division with 111 points, which was third most in the NHL behind the Blueshirts and Dallas Stars (113).

The Rangers won two of three games against the Hurricanes this season, splitting a pair at Madison Square Garden and winning the only game played in Raleigh. That contest, a 1-0 Rangers victory March 12, was played with playoff intensity and showcased two of the elite teams in the League, while providing a glimpse of how great a seven-game series can be between them.
