Summary
Two courtside fans are under NBA investigation after allegedly shouting vulgar "flopping" taunts at Jalen Brunson late in the Knicks' 105-95 Game 1 win over the Spurs in San Antonio.
About 20 seconds remained when the remarks began, and Brunson went to referee Scott Foster after the final buzzer to report them; Foster was reportedly close enough to hear the exchange.
ABC's broadcast showed Brunson addressing the fans, with Foster stepping between them and teammate Jose Alvarado pulling Brunson away from the scorer's table.
Brunson still closed out the opener with 30 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter, giving New York a 1-0 lead before Game 2 on Friday night.
