NEW YORK — Maybe someday Jalen Brunson can look back and savor the roars from a sold-out crowd that officially welcomed him to Madison Square Garden.
Not now. He came to New York for wins, not cheers.
"It was great, it was a great feeling. But I mean, all that goes out the window if you don't try to win games," Brunson said. "So, just do my part to help this team win."
The Knicks won — big.
Brunson scored 17 points in his first home game with his new team, Immanuel Quickley bounced back from a rough opener with 20 and the Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons 130-106 on Friday night for their first victory of the season.
