Jalen Brunson

Get stuck defending Jalen Brunson in an isolation, and it’s only a matter of time before you’re in the air watching him put the ball through the net. Exploiting an ambitious Golden State Warriors rookie on defense, Brunson pumps the brakes on a hard right-side drive, allowing him a free path to a smooth floater. The third-quarter bucket helped open up a 62-47 halftime edge. With his Dallas Mavericks fighting to keep their season alive in Game 4, the shifty combo guard stepped up to the challenge with 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and one block in a 119-109 victory on May 24, 2022.
