Jalen Brunson Assigns Blame After Knicks' Game 2 Loss

Jalen Brunson gave it his all on Monday night. The New York Knicks superstar finished with a game-high 37 points on 12-of-27 shooting, to go along with three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four triples in 44 minutes of action. 

It still wasn't enough for the Knicks, though, as the Detroit Pistons came away with a 100-94 victory in Game 2 to even out this first-round NBA playoffs series at 1-1. 

An understandably disappointed Brunson spoke to reporters after the game, and one of the questions he faced centered around Karl-Anthony Towns' performance on the evening. 

After scoring 10 points in the first half, Towns disappeared after the break. The five-time All-Star was held scoreless in the second half, missing all three of his attempts. 

Bruson was asked to share his thoughts on Towns' performance. As the Knicks' primary playmaker, Brunson was also questioned if he feels any sense of responsibility about the Towns' lack of touches on offense.

Brunson got brutally honest in his response. 

"Yeah, I'm definitely taking each possession at a time and trying to figure out the best course of action," Brunson said. "It's very tough when there's definitely one ball. We have a lot of great players on this team.
