ESPN reacts to Jalen Brunson delights Knicks fans, scores 38 in Christmas win over Giannis, Bucks

Fans a great present on Christmas thank you so much appreciate it thank you thank you thank you and he’ll get to watch relaxing getting in on the three-point action that was his first of the game he was shooting 21% from three this season but then in the fourth this

Was the Jaylen Brunson show backing down Dame Lillard I ain’t scared of no competition takes the contact gets the floater to fall he finished the game with 38 points on 54% shooting from the field and the Knicks snap their losing streak they win at 129 9 to 122 they’re

Now 13 and0 in leading after the third quarter the only undefeated team left in the NBA with that statistic and they improve to 24 and 32 all time on Christmas day now Tim Doyle our NBA analyst told you to take the Knicks earlier on HQ we’ll get this they cover

The three and a half so good money there if you picked the Nicks to win and Christmas spirit in full effect on that New York sideline four players with 20 more points today including an incredible jayen Brunson statline it’s only the second time on Christmas day in Nick’s history with that combination of

Players so certainly an incredible shooting day for the New York Knicks and let’s welcome an NBA analyst Avery Johnson coach the Knicks hadn’t beat the Bucks in nine meetings they just got beat by Milwaukee just a couple days ago so an incredible Christmas gift to give Nick’s fans it was a huge win

They were clearly on Santa Nic list this afternoon what’ you think of this game uh it was just jayen Brunson CH and I know there was talk all week long because uh there were some comments talking about whether he was a onea player or you can’t win a championship

When your best player is uh the smallest one of the smallest players on your team did anybody say that to Tony Parker when for a couple of years there he was the best player on the San Antonio Spurs team Jaylen brunon was sensational uh the way he quarterbacked his team he was

Like a little Maestro out there on Broadway RJ Barrett and Jaylen Brunson scored 29 of the Knicks uh first quarter 36 points and really got them all to a wonderful start uh and the Knicks just dominated this game and it showed with their 72 points in the paint that was

Some really lackluster defense from the Milwaukee Bucks but it all started with uh the leader of the band Jaylen Brunson I was so impressed with his performance yeah I’m so glad that you brought him up because the Knicks were clearly feeling the Christmas spirit today four players

With 20 or more Point performances today that includes jayen Brunson you just mentioned it was his ninth 30-point game of the season though Avery he had 38 to finish today what has just made him such a good fit for this Knicks roster well he’s so crafty I coached

Against jayen when he was at Villanova he knocked us out of the second round when I was coaching in college and um I had a front row seat just to really see how he delivers the ball to his teammates on time on target uh he changes gears my wife and I were even

Noticing when he got a three-point play at the basket just the way he can create fouls and and good body control and this guy he’s a Pros Pro obviously his dad played uh in the NBA I’ve been watching uh jayen Brunson since he was on the a

Circuit so uh but he had some tremendous help when you talk about Emanuel quickley with those 20 points Off the Bench uh in the critical three there uh in the fourth quarter it was overall just a wonderful uh team effort yeah it was third most points scored on

Christmas Day from Jaylen Brunson in Nick’s history so clearly he is finding his Groove with his new team of course on the other side you had the bucks with Giannis and Dame Lillard combining for 64 points so not a slow day for them either despite the loss Avery though it

Does snap a seven game winning streak it was the longest in the NBA this season so we know that they’ll have the ability to bounce back but what adjustment do you think they need to make coming out of this one as they move ahead in the schedule Hy one of the critical

Adjustments that the Milwaukee Bucks are GNA have to make is when teams are seeking out Damon Lillard to force him to switch on defense and they’re isolating Lillard um they got to figure out how to bring some sort of a trap switch to a Zone they cannot leave him

On an island out there because he’s not a good Defender and when you seek out that bad Defender they forced him to switch on Jaylen Brunson several times or RJ barri and it seems like every time he switched the Knicks uh scored and and made them pay so they’re gonna have to

Figure out something they need his points but because of Drew holiday’s absence now in that little trade they’ve taken a significant step back at the point guard position defensively yeah and they’ve had the best record in the NBA since back on November 13th they’re now 17 and four uh so I’m sure they’ll

Figure things out going forward but as it stands Avery an incredible win for the Knicks today we always appreciate having you on getting your Insight Merry Christmas to you and your family as well we hope you enjoy the merry from LA from Los Angeles California Our BAS Tower is under attack your team has destroyed a tower your tower has been destroyed your team destroy Tower an enemy has been defeated an ally deated enemy our base Tower is under attack your tower has destroyed you have defeated an enemy our base Tower is under attack it’s p
