Jalen Brunson, player for the New York Knicks, spoke to the media after the Game 7 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
It was a missed opportunity for the New York Knicks. The team suffered a major setback with a 109:130 loss to the Indiana Pacers at home. A significant issue was also losing Jalen Brunson during the game due to a broken arm. After the game, discussions about Tom Thibodeau’s future started circulating, but Brunson believes that the head coach is the main reason for their success.
“I think Thibs has the same mindset we do as a team. Thibs is the reason why we have that mindset. Thibs is the reason why night in and night out, we fight to the best of our abilities, even though things may not be in our favor, result-wise. He makes sure that we have that mindset night in and night out.
So I think he’s evolved by just pause, he sees everything that everyone says. I think when it comes to us, we don’t really care what the people on the outside think of us. We don’t care what people say, positive or negative. We go forward with what we believe is the best course of action inside this building inside the organization and so on. I think the way that he has evolved is that his players in that locker room have his back no matter what“, Jalen Brunson said.
