2025-26 NBA 總冠軍賽 G1 今日正式開打，因提前晉級兒獲得充足休息時間的紐約尼克，雖然上半場一度陷入落後，但靠著 Jalen Brunson 全場攻下 30 分，以及 Karl-Anthony Towns 繳出 18 分、12 籃板雙十表現，尼克下半場打出 57：40 猛烈攻勢，終場以 105：95 擊敗聖安東尼奧馬刺，將季後賽連勝紀錄推進至 12 場。身為尼克的致勝關鍵，Brunson 在本場比賽遭到馬刺嚴防，多次因不滿裁判吹判尺度而向裁判抗議，也成為賽後另一大討論焦點。

此役，J.Brunson 攻下 30 分，其中第四節拿下 13 分，尤其最後的致勝拋投，更是帶領球隊獲勝的關鍵。而比賽中，Brunson 多次在切入禁區時遭遇強烈身體對抗，其中一次突破過程中被防守球員拉扯球衣，隨後另一波進攻，在落地時遭踩到腳踝，讓 J.Brunson 的情緒遭受影響，多次向裁判抗議。
Brunson was just TACKLED, and they’re calling touch fouls for San Antonio 😂

Brunson was bodied, pushed, had his jersey pulled, then knocked to the ground — NO WHISTLE. Obvious fouls.

在比賽過程中，J.Brunson 多次向 Scott Foster 抗議，就連賽後也不忘上前繼續討論吹判尺度。賽後，尼克總教練 Mike Brown 表示：「我們當時真的一直在對裁判抱怨、碎念個不停。Rick Brunson（助理教練也是 J.Brunson 父親）做得非常好，他直接叫我閉嘴，也告訴全隊不要再吵了，別一直去找裁判麻煩。這真的很重要，因為當時我們所有人都有點失去理智了。」
Jalen Brunson got on Scott Foster again after this foul.

He wanted it to be looked at for a flagrant because he thought he was ripped down:
Brunson: “He threw me down.”

"We were all bitching too much at the officials. Rick Brunson was great. He told me to shut the hell up and he told the rest of the team to be quiet and leave the officials alone. It was great of him because we were all kind of losing our mind" pic.twitter.com/3qjQ4z36Ab
