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.
