In the Knicks-Pacers game, Brunson, the star of the Knicks, did not perform as expected. He shot just 6 of 17 from the field, including 0-of-5 from three-point range, and finished with 18 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
Although Brunson scored 18 points in the game, his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were below average. Outside the three-point line in particular, he missed all five attempts, which was a less-than-ideal performance for a core player. Maybe the Knicks as a whole are really too tired, and the head coach's use of personnel is too harsh!
