LeBron James on Jalen Brunson: He’s been playing BEYOND an all-star level | NBA on ESPN

Check with Lisa what’s up baby hold LeBron you guys really took control of this game from the start of the fourth quarter really until the last two minutes of the quarter you’d held them to just 10 points just what changed defensively we just turned up our defens

Intensity like you said Lisa uh we was really on point and on time with our um with our doubles with our hits with our rotations obviously uh Jaylen is playing at a you know more than All-Star level this year so uh we know he’s the head of

The stin but we just tried to wear him down throughout the fourth quarter and uh get get rebounds cuz I believe they’re second or first in the last 12 games in offensive rebounding too so you got to do a little bit of both you said

It like you really made it tough on him in that fourth quarter just what were you doing to keep him from beating you well he can’t beat you um and we’ve seen that in the fourth quarter this year in a lot of the Knicks games where he’s

Erupted in the fourth quarter so try to keep multiple bodies um keep changing the defense don’t show him the same pitch and I think that helped out a lot Describe the impact that your Supporting Cast had tonight particularly Toran and Austin uh they were big time uh you know

TP was coming off the bench for the first time this year I believe and uh but he’s a true professional he came in gave us great minutes off the bench timely shots especially in that fourth quarter AR just picked up where he left off last game in Boston and uh the rest

Of us we just Tred to chip in you know we got to do it offensively we got to do it defensively and and be on the stram the Knicks were the hottest team in the NBA you came in here to the Garden ruined their party just what can that do

For the momentum for for your team well we have one more game left on this road trip and uh we’ve had back toback great wins one in Boston one here you know two of the hottest teams in the league and uh you know we finished it off in

Charlotte and we have to be professional and understanding that at the end of the day that is the NBA team and if we don’t come to play they will beat us so um you know we look forward to you know enjoying tonight you know it’s always

Great to be in the city um but also keeping the main thing the main thing and finishing this trip off on Monday all right thanks congrats on the win all right good to see you see you next Time he
