Jalen Brunson joins cast of Inside the NBA
The Dallas Mavericks may have to make a huge shift in the amount of effort they put into their game. The Golden State Warriors have taken three games for the early lead, but what is concerning is that no team has ever made it through after losing 3-0 in a series. It will be interesting to see if this impossible feature will be achieved by the end of this series.
Luka Doncic has tried his level best to keep their title hopes alive. The player has been averaging 31.5 points per game in this series along with 9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists as well. Being one of three players in the history of the league to average such numbers consistently throughout the post-season adds more pressure on him to help his team win. Another big emergence for the team is point guard Jalen Brunson.
Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Game 4 Recap
The Mavericks somehow narrowly escaped a series sweep by the Warriors during Game 4 after erupting on offense. They helped the Dubs down throughout the entire game barely giving them a chance to take the lead. They shot 50% from the field, 46.5% from beyond the three-point arc, and 77.3% from the free-throw line. The Warriors scoring bunch did not have quite the usual night.
Doncic led the team with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists including a few blocks and steals along the way. His shooting form begin to set in as he took over from the three-point arc draining a couple of crucial daggers. Dorian Finney-Smith recorded the second-best total on the night with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. Playoff breakout star Jalen Brunson contributed an extra 15 points.
Jalen Brunson claims he is way better than his father
After the tremendous night which resulted in a win for the Mavericks, Jalen Bruson joined the cast of TNT’s Inside the NBA. Charles Barkley who has been a huge supporter of Dallas in recent days due to his feud with the Warriors fans, asked Brunson a question that involved his father. He was asked if he thought he was as good as his father.
The player responded by saying, “My dad wasn’t even a player compared to me.” This left the entire group laughing it out. Jalen’s father Rick Brunson had played in the NBA for nine seasons where he averaged under 5 points per game. The second generational player is averaging far better numbers than his old man with 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game this season alone. It is safe to consider his response valid.
