“The ball was falling into the basket. » It’s simple and well summarized. Jalen Brunson talks about his performance against the Raptors, a match finished with 35 points at 13/19 shooting including 6/9 at 3-pts. Above all, he quickly got into the rhythm of this quarter-final, with a high-level first quarter: 20 points at 7/9 shooting, without a lost ball.
“Brunson caught fire from the start and was outstanding”indicates Darko Rajakovic, the coach of the Canadiens. “He made shots, complicated shots. Whether it was 3-pointers or free throws, he did what he wanted. »
The leader of the Knicks allowed his team to stay in the match, because the first twelve minutes were for Toronto, with a New York attack which lost 6 balls and remained very dependent on the former Dallas player.
In the second quarter, Jalen Brunson will still be very good but with more support, from OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns and with a newfound defense as well. The machine runs better, takes control and heads towards qualification for the semi-final.
“Jalen did what he was supposed to do. He got us out of trouble in the first quarter”admire Mike Brown. “We were able to follow them because Jalen had a great quarter and he is fully capable of it. That’s why he’s a candidate for MVP. Then after that first quarter, everyone started being aggressive. »
