ATLANTA — It was a family affair.
During the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 114-98 Game 4 win over the Hawks on Saturday night at State Farm Arena, Jalen Brunson and his father, Knicks assistant Rick Brunson, were animated with each other on the sideline despite the game largely having been settled.
They yelled at each other and waved their arms a bit before the younger Brunson walked away.
When asked what the debate was about, Jalen Brunson said “there’s no debate there.”
So what was it about?
“That was two competitors,” he said.
Brunson struggled with his shot, as he has for most of this series.
He finished with 19 points on 7-for-18 shooting from the field and 3-for-7 shooting from 3-point range and also committed six turnovers.
He also exited and went back to the locker room during the third quarter after Dyson Daniels fell on his ankle while fighting for a loose ball.
He returned later in the quarter.
And soon after, he was barking at his father.
