Jalen Brunson got his cape again for the Knicks in Game 2

Actor Timothee Chalamet attended Game 2 on Monday night, likely relating to Brunson delivering an amazing performance but not getting a win for it. He saw Brunson put the Knicks on his back when they trailed by 13 points midway through the final quarter, thanks to Detroit's stifling defense.

Brunson delivered a combination of three-pointers, floaters and free throws to erase the deficit with a minute to go, fouling out the Pistons' young defensive ace, Ausar Thompson, along the way. Like Game 1, Brunson also mysterious disappeared into the locker room briefly before returning after a timeout.

His head coach had a theory about what happened in the previous game.

Brunson finished with 37 points, seven assists and two steals, but it wasn't enough in a game where 24.4 PPG scorer Karl-Anthony Towns put up only 10 points, Mikal Bridges missed his last four shots and the Knicks got only eight points from their bench.

The Knicks' All-Star still had a chance to tie the game, but his pullup three-pointer with 46 seconds left went wide. Then, with 11 seconds to go, Brunson passed to Bridges for a wide-open three, but his Villanova teammate's shot was off-target.

Sometimes a hero can't do it alone. Brunson still needs to pack his cape when the Knicks travel to Detroit for Game 3 on Thursday.
