Things got a little too chippy between Jalen Brunson and Andrew Nembhard during the New York Knicks embarrassing Game 6 loss.
During the Indiana Pacers’ game against the Knicks, excitement was on a whole new level. Nembhard really stepped up in a big way and led the Pacers to a thrilling victory.
In the second quarter, the Pacers’ point guard went up against Brunson in a clumsy sequence. While trying to defend the Knicks guard, Nembhard received a headbutt and a foul.

Throughout the playoff series, Jalen Brunson and the OKC Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got much of the heat for their foul-baiting. It also reached a frustrating level for the fan bases as such tactics only broke the flow of the games.
Although Brunson is getting a lot of fans agitated for flopping at a time when his team needed him the most, he could only finish with 19 points while taking 18 shots and racking up five turnovers.
“Biggest flopper in the league how can you be a fan of this guy,” a fan commented.

Better Vision. Better Calls.
Nembhard’s defensive intensity was a key factor in the game, making life tough for Brunson. He did his best job, and it showed up during the victory.
