Jalen Brunson has trust in his process as he looks to propel the New York Knicks into the playoffs.

Brunson finished with 42 points and 10 assists on Monday, as he inspired the Knicks to a 124-118 comeback win over the Houston Rockets.

The 28-year-old, who was hailed with "MVP" chants from the home crowd, now has the most 30+ point, 10+ assist games in franchise history for the Knicks, with 12.

He is just the sixth Knicks player to finish with at least 40 points and 10 assists in a regular-season game.

"I'm just trusting what I do and not going outside of that," Brunson said.

"I'm trusting my work and everything I do. The confidence my teammates have in me and the coaches - I'm just trying to go out there and do whatever I can to help the team win."

Brunson's teammate Mikal Bridges added: "JB was just doing his thing. When we need it most, he's always going to be there and do that. If they're going to keep letting him play one-on-one, then we're just going to keep letting him do that."

The Knicks had to work hard for their victory, overturning an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

"You have to win games in different ways," said Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau.

"We knew it would be that kind of game. The physicality, playing small, the aggressiveness. We got in a hole but found a way to win.

"I loved the way we responded in the fourth quarter. Whatever it was going to take, we were going to do. Don't let anything break us, just keep fighting.

"Have a determination that whatever it is that we need to win, that's what we're going to do."
