Jalen Brunson corrects Karl-Anthony Towns during NBA Finals presser
Summary

Jalen Brunson fact-checked Karl-Anthony Towns during a press conference after the Knicks' 105-104 win over the Spurs in NBA Finals Game 2. Towns mistakenly referenced Brunson's national title count, prompting Brunson to clarify that he has two championships from Villanova in 2016 and 2018. The Knicks' victory gives them a 2-0 lead in the series, and they are on a 13-game playoff winning streak. The Knicks will need to continue their strong performance to secure the championship, as no team has overcome a 2-0 deficit in Finals history after losing the first two games at home.
