Jalen Brunson leads all the NBA players in scoring during the postseason, and he may still harbor a grudge against Indiana coach Rick Carlisle, stemming from their time together with the Dallas Mavericks.
Brunson is a bona fide star in his second season in New York but that wasn't the case when he was a member of the Mavericks, who faced the Los Angeles Clippers during the first round of the 2021 playoffs. That Game 7 loss was Carlisle's final game in Dallas. Now in his third season with the Pacers, he fears Brunson but doesn't think a coaching decision made three seasons ago has any bearing on the current series.
"The last two times we played him he had 40 in one game and 39 in the other," Carlisle said."He's leading the playoffs in scoring average. It's pretty obvious that he established a very high level during the season, and he's maintained and/or exceeded it in the postseason, and that's hard to do." This will be the eighth time the Pacers and Knicks have met in the postseason with Indiana holding a 4-3 lead.
