Jalen Brunson left the locker room on an injured leg, walked onto the court and sent the MSG crowd into a frenzy, just as Willis Reed had exactly 54 years earlier.
Then he blocked out the pain, the noise all around him, and led the Knicks to a 2-0 lead.

As long as Jalen Brunson can go, the Knicks can too.
The Knicks looked lost when Brunson left Game 2 with a foot injury.
When he returned, they looked like a team headed to the Eastern Conference Finals.
