Jalen Brunson had an altercation with a fan at the end of the Spurs-Knicks game.

The NBA has opened an investigation into an incident involving Jalen Brunson and several fans courtside during the first game of the Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. The New York guard showed his frustration in the final moments of the game, which ended with the Knicks winning 105-95.

The situation occurred with 29.4 seconds left, while OG Anunoby was shooting free throws. Brunson, who had just scored a crucial basket to extend his team's lead, had a conversation with head referee Scott Foster and expressed his discontent once the game was over.

The player declined to comment on the incident neither after the game nor during Thursday's media availability. Brunson finished with 30 points, including 13 in the final quarter, leading New York's comeback from a 14-point deficit and extending the Knicks' winning streak in these playoffs.
