Jalen Brunson found himself at the center of controversy for a questionable play during Game 3 on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Brunson attempted to contest a shot by Pistons forward Tim Hardaway Jr. but wasn't close on the block, striking Hardaway square in the face and appearing to poke him in the eye.

Jalen Brunson pulled a Rowdy Roddy Piper during his team’s playoff game on Thursday. The New York Knicks star Brunson came under fire for a controversial moment in the first quarter of Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons. Brunson was attempting to contest a three-pointer by Pistons guard Tim Hardaway Jr. and ended up poking Hardaway in the eye.

It’s clear the answer is him. Brunson ranks third in playoff touches per game behind Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, but he ranks No. 1 in average time of possession (10.1 minutes, ahead of James Harden), average seconds per touch (six seconds) and average dribbles per touch (5.92).
