Report card from the Knicks’ 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Friday night in San Antonio:

Jalen Brunson

A poor shooting night throughout. Brunson was blowing lay-ups and open shots and everything else you wouldn’t expect.

He even missed a big free throw down the stretch. But the point guard also had a pivotal steal and left Frost Bank Arena with a 2-0 lead. His final line was ugly, though — 20 points, 7-for-25 shooting and four turnovers. But he did have five steals. 

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson is fouled by San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama late in the final seconds of the fourth quarter.
