Winning is a family affair for Jalen Brunson<\/a>, and he made sure to celebrate the Knicks<\/a>\u2019 144-114 series-clinching victory<\/a> over the 76ers<\/a> as such.<\/p>\n

The Knicks star was captured sweetly celebrating the win with his family after he put up 22 points in 28 minutes in Game 4 at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Sunday, while shooting 8-of-17 from the floor and 6-of-10 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

In a separate heartwarming moment, the Knicks star is seen walking off the court while holding his daughter\u2019s hand as she walks beside him.<\/p>\n

During Brunson\u2019s postgame press conference, he was briefly interrupted by an adorable voice in the back of the room shouting, \u201cHi dada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordyn could be heard shouting \u201cdada\u201d a second time, which caused Brunson to chuckle and lose his train of thought for a moment.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s win marked the second consecutive postseason run in which the Knicks reached the Eastern Conference finals, though the team did it in emphatic fashion against the Sixers.<\/p>\n

All but one game was close during the series and Brunson continued to show how he has helped turn the Knicks into a winning franchise.<\/p>\n

Brunson has averaged 28.0 points on 48.6 percent shooting from the floor and 37.5 percent shooting from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

Asked to reflect on his role in reviving the Knicks fortunes, Brunson wanted to save that question for later.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s a question I would love to answer once I retire. This place means a lot to me and we\u2019re still writing our story. So I\u2019ll answer that at another time,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n

The Knicks have some downtime while they wait to find out if they\u2019ll be playing the Pistons or the Cavaliers in the conference finals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winning is a family affair for Jalen Brunson, and he made sure to celebrate the Knicks\u2019 144-114 series-clinching…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":636316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[66348,36783,25169,355,99],"class_list":["post-636315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-76ers","tag-jalen-brunson","tag-knicks","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/636315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=636315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/636315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/636316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=636315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=636315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=636315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
