Jalen Brunson is again putting together a season worthy of All-NBA consideration, carrying the Knicks with his scoring, leadership and, more than ever, his passing. But there is one area of Brunson’s game that has been frustrating: his free-throw shooting.

NEW YORK (AP) — 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.
