Magic Johnson has blamed two New York Knicks players, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, for the team’s season-ending loss in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Indiana Pacers defeated the Knicks 125-108 to earn a spot in the NBA Finals.
According to Johnson’s social media post, the Knicks’ two superstars failed to perform well, managing only 19 and 22 points respectively on 8-of-18 and 8-of-19 shooting. Both players also struggled defensively, with Brunson head-butting Andrew Nembhard out of frustration.
The loss marks a tough defeat for the Knicks, who will now have time to reflect on their performance during the offseason.
