Point the finger at No. 11, Jalen Brunson repeatedly said. This loss was on him. “Today,” the Knicks’ accountable leader said, “I was horrific.”
Don’t fault the absence of Julius Randle or the Knicks’ ugly 3-point shooting.That’s up for debate. But clearlyin Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals wasn’t Brunson’s best performance despite scoring 25 points on 11-of-23 shooting and adding seven assists.
“Inside the 3 point line, I was pretty efficient,” he said. “Outside the 3-point line, I was terrible. They’re a good team, great [defensively], well coached, experienced. So you gotta give them credit, but for me, I gotta be better.” A dejected Jalen Brunson looks down to the floor during the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 108-101 Game 1 loss to the Heat.That worked in Miami’s favor when Brunson missed from deep and Butler was able to leak out for easy baskets at the other end of the floor.Want to catch a game?
