Jalen Brunson pulled off rare feat with epic series-winner vs. Pistons

Adding to the mystique of Brunson’s game-winning shot was the rare feat that he achieved along the way. Brunson managed to get a scarcely heard double “Bang!” from Mike Breen, who was calling the game on local television. Take a listen below.

In addition to his national television duties for ESPN, Breen is the longtime TV play-by-play announcer for Knicks games on MSG Network. “Bang!” is Breen’s signature call, but the double “Bang!” usually only comes out for the most epic moments of the NBA postseason.

Brunson’s series-winner certainly met that category, and it was even more fitting that Breen was able to bust out the double “Bang!” for his hometown team in the Knicks. The two-time All-Star Brunson got under the Pistons’ skin throughout the series with his perceived flopping, but in the single biggest moment of the six-game set, Brunson’s game was more than able to speak for itself.
