After the game, though, hilarious quotes and jokes were aplenty in the Knicks locker room. Brunson's friend and former Villanova teammate Josh Hart joked about Brunson's 17 assists after the game. “JB had 17 assists, which you’ll probably never see again,” Hart joked.

Jalen Brunson recorded a career-high 17 assists to help the Knicks tie a franchise record with 45 in Monday’s 145-118 win over the Nuggets.

OG Anunoby scored a career-high 40 points, Karl-Anthony Towns had 30 points and 15 rebounds, and the visiting New York Knicks used a big first half to rout the Denver Nuggets 145-118 on Monday night.
