For the first time in nearly a half-century, the Knicks have two All-Star starters. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.

So claims team captain Jalen Brunson, who is far from satisfied with the Knicks' current standing: at 32-16, New York is off to what's tied for its best 48-game start since 1996-97 and sits a game out of second place in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks will have two representatives in the starting lineup during the NBA All-Star Game on Feb 16. in San Francisco, Calif.

Jalen Brunson scored 11 of the final 13 points Monday night for the New York Knicks, who overcame an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to top the visiting Houston Rockets 124-118.

Jalen Brunson had 42 points and 10 assists, breaking a tie with Carmelo Anthony for third on the franchise list with his 18th 40-point game with the Knicks, and New York beat the Houston Rockets 124-118 on Monday night.

Brunson scored 17 points in the fourth quarter to bring the Knicks back in a game they trailed by 11 after three. He ended up with his 12th game with at least 30 points and 10 assists since coming to New York,

Karl-Anthony Towns carried the torch for the first half before Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson saved the Knicks from a collapse in Canada. Playing without injured OG Anunoby, the Knicks allowed their 23-point advantage dwindle to one with about three minutes remaining.
