Brunson Joins Knicks Royalty in Dethroning Kings

Jalen Brunson had a box score fit for a king on Saturday night ... except for the ones of the Sacramento variety.

Brunson joined New York Knicks royalty at Golden 1 Center, which hosted a 98-91 metropolitan victory over the Sacramento Kings. With 42 points (combined with a 45-point outing on Thursday in Portland), Brunson joins Bernard King (four times), Carmelo Anthony, and Patrick Ewing (twice each) as the only New Yorkers to score at least 40 in consecutive games.

Halfway through their four-game West trek, the Knicks return to action on Monday in San Francisco night against the Golden State Warriors (10 p.m. ET, MSG/ESPN).
