He finished the game -16. It's painful if true. I wrote in real time in the 3rd quarter that Indiana could not defend him. 31 points in 37', 9/19 (2/6), 11/12 f.t.s, 2 rebs, 5 asts, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 t.o.'s, 3 fouls. How many times did I write in that 3rd quarter, "Brunson to the line AGAIN"? His scoring was single-handedly keeping NY within touching distance. Then Thibs sat him for over 4' to start the 4th. Indy led by 11 at the end of the 3rd. With Brunson out, the "Pacers" increased the lead to 12 before he checked back in at 7:55 in the 4th. They got it to 6 at 2:52 with him in the game. He did not help the team sitting and he did not hurt the team being in. I don't understand it.
