Jalen Brunson ‘pissed off’ about his struggles from free throw line
NY Post
TORONTO — Jalen Brunson is again putting together a season worthy of All-NBA consideration, carrying the Knicks with his scoring, leadership and, more than ever, his passing.
But there is one area of Brunson’s game that has been frustrating: his free-throw shooting.
“I get a little pissed off about it,” said Brunson, who scored 28 points in the Knicks’ 121-115 win over the Raptors on Tuesday night. “It’s stupid. And it’s pissing me off talking about it now.”
After missing 2 of 8 free throws in Tuesday’s win over the Raptors, Brunson is down to 81.3 percent for the season — his lowest since his 2020-21 campaign.
He said there’s no difference in the form and the remedy is more practice.
“It sucks. The ball’s not going in. No different routine,” Brunson said. “I just have to be better focused at the free-throw line. It’s pissing me the hell off. I’m not going to lie. I’m going to go in and make a couple hundred this week.”
