"You'd be surprised at how humble my circle keeps me, and I love it that way. I don't want to change,'' says Jalen Brunson, who constantly hears ''MVP!'' chants but thinks he can get better.

The biggest part of New York's success, though, came through their passing prowess. The Knicks recorded 37 assists on the night and left Indiana searching for answers.
