Jalen Brunson Scores Game-High 44 Points as Knicks Dominate Pacers in NBA Playoffs, Lead Series 3-2

In the fifth game of the NBA playoffs between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers, tensions boiled over leading to a total of five technical fouls being issued. The Knicks emerged victorious with a score of 121-91, thanks in large part to Jalen Brunson's impressive performance. Brunson scored a game-high 44 points and added seven assists, while Josh Hart contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds.

The Knicks had struggled in the previous games due to Brunson's foot injury and his inability to create space against Pacers wing Aaron Nesmith. However, Brunson dominated the Pacers defense in Game 5, slicing up defenders and getting to desired spots on the court.

The Knicks lead the series 3-2 and are one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. The next game is scheduled for May 17.
