Jalen Brunson | New York Knicks Postgame Press Conference | January 20th, 2024

One of the biggest rebound differentials of this you guys are plus 30 on the board tonight how much of an emphasis was that heading into this one um can we start over please you got to get him out are you ready for take two jayen plus 30 on the boards tonight

How much of an emphasis was that heading into this one yeah um I mean we try to emphasize again just out rebounding teams as best we can um just uh it was just one of those nights where we just obviously out reading B by a lot but but uh it’s it’s

Always an emphasis it’s one of our team goals just always have that by the end of the game another 38 points for you and then Julius goes out pulls down a triple double I mean when you two are both firing like that can you kind of describe the chemistry that’s happening

On the floor uh I mean not really just it’s just we’re flowing out there and um I mean I think the chemistry is just unexplainable we just been able to flow and feed off each other and um just try to make plays and um while still being

Aggressive and um we just we’ve been in the groove so we just got to continue to keep doing what we’ve been doing you know keep giving each other confidence and um keep moving forward we saw a lot of smiles with RJ and quick out there

Between all of you guys you said it was important to win this game you get that done but then they also play well tonight I mean what’s your take away from this game love those two um being teammates with them past couple years has been special um Great Character

Dudes they both work really hard and um everything you want and the franchise player and so um I mean Toronto has a good couple good dudes over there and um I’m wishing nothing but the best but those are my guys what was it like you know when you’re playing against RJ you

Guys are picking each other up and just after knowing each other so well um feel like another game honestly I mean once you uh get over that part and then the the ball’s up in the air you know everything else goes out the window so uh you know you’re just trying your best

To do what you can to win and obviously after the game you know back to being Brothers but uh you just try and focus on what you got to do did you did you sense the heightened emotions early in the game and how did you guys kind of

Weather that you were down 11 and then once you came back kind of do what you guys do I mean yeah they um they were ready to go and um put us back on the heels at first and so we had to rebound and um just fight back but uh I mean

Yeah they put us on Heels now pretty early what did you see from Julius in terms of his playmaking this his 14 triple double did you see anything different from him tonight that maybe he didn’t have other games this this season uh not really I didn’t even really

Noticed he was close until um into the third or whatever or the fourth but um I mean he just he’s been playing the same way you know just making reads um getting to the basket whenever he wants and knocking down the shots and so um he’s just he’s been that same mindset

And us since they won Jaylen how uh I mean it’s so such a high percentage of the shots that you take but you’ve got to be the most comfortable one of the most comfortable guys in the league just being completely off Balan when you take contact to still

Make the shot go down is that something that you practice I know just as an undersized guy that you probably had to deal with getting knock down quite a bit what is it like to take those shots to make those shots as consistently uh just being comfortable while being uncomfortable um

Uh my game is uh A little unorthodox and a little different from uh most people but um yeah I’m comfortable being uncomfortable and so I’m just I work on those things and um I’m comfortable in those positions and I’m just find the ways to make sure to keep might keep the

Defense off balance while remaining on balance thank
