Jalen Brunson Wants to Forget About the Score
Jalen’s Take on the Series
The New York Knicks are riding high after a thrilling two-game sweep in the Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. But hold your horses! They’re not resting on their laurels or planning a victory parade just yet. In fact, Jalen Brunson is on a mission to keep things cool and collected.
Resetting the Mindset
Brunson had some wise words: “Even with the series looking how it is, we have to go into the next game with a mindset of 0-0. That’s the only way to do it. You can’t get too comfy or feel like you’ve accomplished anything just yet. We just have to keep pushing forward!”
Last Minute Drama
Let’s rewind a bit. Just two days ago, the Knicks snatched a nail-biting 104-105 victory against the Spurs, bringing their series lead to a snug 2-0. But as Brunson reminds us, it’s crucial to maintain that 0-0 mentality. “We didn’t allow ourselves to think we were ahead at any point,” he emphasized.
Keeping Calm Under Pressure
During the final quarter, the Knicks had a comfy lead until the Spurs ignited a 14-0 run that sent shivers down the spines of Knicks fans everywhere. But fear not! Mike Brown’s squad held their ground, better than a cat on a hot tin roof.
Game Face On
Brunson raved about the team’s ability to keep a level head during the chaos of the game. “That shows the grit of our squad. Not crumbling in tough moments is what wins us games like this,” he said with a grin. “At this stage of the season, it’s not going to be pretty. It’s going to be messy. It’s going to be tough. Period.”
