Kings Defender Stunned By Jalen Brunson’s Move On Him

A Sacramento Kings defender went viral on Saturday night over his reaction to being on the wrong side of a slick Jalen Brunson move.

The New York Knicks earned an impressive 98-91 victory over the Kings this weekend, and the highlight of the game came with just under a minute remaining.

Brunson got Kings guard Keon Ellis by himself at the top of the key and faked a call for a screen from Isaiah Hartenstein.

Ellis fell for the pretend call and tried to anticipate Hartenstein’s contact, but that allowed Brunson to get right past him.

Why he so worried about the screen focus on your assignment. This is why you sit next to the Gatorade to keep it cold

Big picture, Brunson has been having a fantastic season with the Knicks.

He has really revitalized that entire franchise since his arrival.

Saturday was just the latest example of that.

Can Brunson guide the Knicks on a deep playoff run in 2024? Time will tell.
