During the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 114-98 Game 4 win over the Hawks on Saturday night at State Farm Arena, Jalen Brunson and his father, Knicks assistant Rick Brunson, were animated with each other on the sideline despite the game largely having been settled.
They yelled at each other and waved their arms a bit before the younger Brunson walked away.

Brunson struggled with his shot, as he has for most of this series.
He finished with 19 points on 7-for-18 shooting from the field and 3-for-7 shooting from 3-point range and also committed six turnovers.
He also exited and went back to the locker room during the third quarter after Dyson Daniels fell on his ankle while fighting for a loose ball.
