Jalen Brunson fouls out in Knicks’ Game 5 nightmare: ‘Five fouls in one quarter?’
NY Post
BOSTON — Jalen Brunson didn’t want to talk about it.
He entered the third quarter of the Knicks’ 127-102 loss to the Celtics Wednesday night at TD Garden with zero fouls. He was subbed out with 2:45 left in the quarter with five fouls.
“Five fouls in one quarter? I don’t know what you want me to say to that,” Brunson said. “I’m not even gonna say anything. I’m sorry.”
The Knicks were outscored 32-17 in that third quarter when Brunson picked up the five fouls. Brunson had just two points in the quarter.
With the Knicks trailing 91-76, coach Tom Thibodeau put Brunson back in the game to start the fourth quarter. He only made it to the 7:19 mark before committing his sixth foul and fouling out.
When the TD Garden jumbotron showed Brunson on the bench after fouling out, he put on a sarcastic smile and waved to the crowd.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
