Jalen Brunson\u2019s anger toward referee Scott Foster may have been equivalent to the size of Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Knicks star was irate with the official with just under six minutes to play in the first half during Game 1 of the NBA Finals Wednesday night after no call was made when Spurs big man Luke Kornet landed on the ankle of Brunson after the guard fell to the ground driving to the hoop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brunson went right up to Foster and yelled in his direction after a timeout was called.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another member of the Knicks quickly came and moved Brunson away, while Foster didn\u2019t seem to pay any mind to the outburst and walked in the other direction.<\/p>\n

The Knicks were trailing 37-32 at the time it occurred and it came after Brunson seemed to be in some discomfort for the second time in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kornet very clearly landed on Brunson\u2019s ankle and he was quick to react in pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brunson grabbed at his ankle while on the ground and then was seen limping back to the Knicks bench during the timeout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He did remain in the game.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the game, Brunson had to be subbed out after he was knocked into by Harrison Barnes, who seemed to hit Brunson\u2019s right knee.<\/p>\n

Mikal Bridges came into the game with 1:27 left in the first quarter, but Brunson returned to the game with roughly eight minutes left in the second quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
