What happened: New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson made his 1,000th career 3-pointer during Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brunson recorded 13 points, one rebound, and three assists as play continued. Cleveland led New York 59-53 with the game in progress.
Why it matters: The milestone adds to a prolific stretch for Brunson, who led New York to the NBA Finals last season. The Knicks entered at 6-4 on a four-game winning streak to hold fourth in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland entered at 5-6 through 11 games looking to snap a two-game skid.
By the numbers: Brunson is averaging 25.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 2026-27 through 10 games. New York entered Wednesday having won four straight games against Cleveland, including a 109-97 win on Nov. 7.
What to watch: Play continues with Cleveland holding a six-point advantage as New York looks to rally.
