Game 2 turned into a staring contest.<\/p>\n

As the Knicks and Spurs turned up the physicality at Frost Bank Center, Jalen Brunson and De\u2019Aaron Fox went from going toe-to-toe to face-to-face in a heated fourth quarter moment.<\/p>\n

Fox defended Brunson hard as the Knicks star tried to get away along the sidelines with 9:35 on the clock in the quarter and the Knicks up 87-80, being forced out of bounds.<\/p>\n

In response, Brunson stared down his Spurs foe \u2014 who was happy to oblige, getting face-to-face in a wordless showdown.<\/p>\n

Teammates and officials came in to quickly break things up before they crossed a line \u2014 though Brunson\u2019s dad, a former Knick and current assistant coach, got involved, racing down the court and appearing to admonish Fox.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t do that,\u201d the elder Brunson seemed to say, according to The Post\u2019s amateur lip-reading. \u201cThat\u2019s enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
