Against the Warriors it was a night to forget for Jalen Brunson, the worst shooting ever.
Brunson faded and the Knicks went down with him in a 111-101 loss Friday night at Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Brunson finished in double figures with 13 points, but was held to 2-of-13 shooting, snapping a streak of four straight shooting above 50%. On the other hand, Curry worked his way up to 24 points on 47% shooting night with five 3-pointers and 10 assists to lead the Warriors’ easy win.
The wily Brunson missed his first four shots of the game, which typified the Knicks’ shooting struggles. The Knicks, as a whole, missed 26 of their first 31 shots which gave the Warriors a double-digit lead.
Brunson blamed himself for the Knicks lackluster start as reported by New York Post:
“I played very badly. This is the focal point. I played very badly”
