Brunson Erupts at Scott Foster After Ankle Non-Call in Knicks' 105-95 Finals Game 1 Win

3 articles · Updated · New York Post · Jun 3

Jalen Brunson confronted referee Scott Foster with under six minutes left in the first half after no foul was called when Luke Kornet landed on his ankle during a drive.
30-point Brunson grabbed the ankle in pain, limped to the bench during the timeout, and still stayed in the game as New York rallied from a 37-32 deficit.
Earlier, Brunson had already left briefly after Harrison Barnes appeared to hit his right knee, with Mikal Bridges checking in before Brunson returned in the second quarter.
Mike Brown said the Knicks were "losing our minds" at the officials until Rick Brunson told the bench and staff to stop arguing during the 105-95 Game 1 win.
