Knicks’ Mikal Bridges says Pistons fans are ‘wasting their breath’ with Jalen Brunson vulgar chants
NY Post
DETROIT — Mikal Bridges believes Pistons fans should pick a different strategy. The current one is not going to work on Jalen Brunson.
Fans routinely booed Brunson every time he got the ball and chanted “F–k you Brunson” throughout the Knicks’ 118-116 Game 3 win over the Pistons on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.
“That’s nothing,” Bridges said after practice on Saturday. “Words ain’t gonna hurt him. That’s wasting their breath or just to get the crowd going. But that don’t bother him at all.”
Brunson finished the game with 30 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
