Jalen Brunson Holds Back Scathing Remark After Charles Barkley Criticizes Coach Thibodeau’s Rotations Live on TV.

In Game 3, the New York Knicks struggled as their All-Stars faced foul issues - Jalen Brunson (four fouls in the first half) and Karl-Anthony Towns (three) - during their 20-point comeback.

Jalen Brunson still ended up hitting the biggest shot and nailing the biggest free throws down the stretch of the Knicks’ Game 3 win Sunday.

Following his impressive performance on Friday night, Brunson has entered LeBron James and Michael Jordan territory. He became the fourth player with five or more 35-point and 10-assist games in the playoffs. James, Jordan, and Jerry West are the only other players to accomplish that feat.

Since coming over to the New York Knicks in 2022, Jalen Brunson has built a strong relationship with head coach Tom Thibodeau. As the team continues its conference finals showdown with the Pacers, he opened up helping him reach the game's biggest stage for the first time.

Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau alluded to the rotation changes he made in Game 3, saying it wouldn't be possible without players making sacrifices and putting the team first. OG Anunoby touched on the Knicks' resiliency and recognizing the playoffs involve a game of runs.
