Bryant twice scored 100 fourth-quarter points in his first 10 playoff games, back in 2001 and 2003, and then added a 99-point run to open the 2008 playoffs. Stephen Curry likewise scored 99 in the first 10 games of the 2023 playoffs, but Brunson's fourth-quarter scoring pace has moved him past those two legends.

Jalen Brunson promptly did what he does best and drew a foul, then subsequently drilled both free throws to give the Knicks a 91-90 lead with 12.7 seconds left.
