Fred Katz

He ended up shooting 54% on corner threes in the playoffs.

Just outrageous numbers and an outrageous playoff run.

And I just thought the fact that inside the last 30 seconds that he could have a moment that could help them win the title, even on a night when his shot wasn't falling in the way that it had for the previous two months.

I just thought that was just one extra unbelievable defensive play by one of the best defensive players in the league.

That was a great example of Jalen Brunson's brilliance.

And I mean that with his mind, not like his basketball brilliance.

And I say that because I think that shot was made in the second quarter.

Yeah.

So I think I mean, I think you're totally right on the tip in where he was.

He was glued.

I know the exact player talking about he was kind of glued to Mitch there and having him there as a lob threat is that's that's the type of spacing that that Mitchell Robinson provides.

But early in the game, the first, like, what would it have been?

19 minutes of the game.

The Knicks have zero points in the paint.

And zero bench points for a lot longer than that.

Yeah.

They started the game, I think, 0 for 13 on shots in the paint.

And part of the reason why Brunson is so good in the playoffs is because he is so keen on detail and figures out these little ways that teams are guarding him and then figures out how to exploit them throughout the course of a series.

So we'll have a bad shooting night the first couple of games like he did in this series.

And then he'll start to figure it out.
