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.

Monday night, the New York Knicks beat the Houston Rockets 124-118 behind a late surge. It was a tough game for an undermanned New York, as Houston’s waves of athleticism and toughness were very difficult to handle.
