Brunson using season-ending turnover as fuel

Ahead of the New York Knicks opening up the playoffs Saturday night at Madison Square Garden against the Philadelphia 76ers, Knicks star Jalen Brunson admitted he spent all summer thinking about his turnover in the closing moments of New York's Game 6 loss to the Miami Heat last spring. "A lot more than you would think," Brunson said, when asked how much he has thought about that turnover, which came with under 20 seconds to go in the game and New York trailing by two. Rather than getting up a potential game-tying -- or go-ahead -- shot, Brunson got stuck in a double-team on the baseline and wound up trying to force a pass to a cutting Julius Randle coming down the lane, which was stolen by Miami.
