Tom Thibodeau frustrated with lack of whistles for Jalen Brunson: 'A foul is a foul, that's what I do know'

It was an MVP performance from a player who should be getting more MVP attention.  But Jalen Brunson’s near-record scoring binge wasn’t enough to beat Victor Wembanyama’s domination, and the Knicks dropped an overtime thriller Friday night, 130-126, with Tom Thibodeau again lamenting the lack of whistles for his star player.  “A foul is a foul. That’s what I do know,” said Thibodeau, who noted the 32-12 free-throw discrepancy in favor of the Spurs. “And what I’m hearing [from the referees], I don’t really like. I don’t know what else you could do, what else you can say. It’s clear as day. It really is that simple.”  What explanation are the officials providing about why Brunson isn’t getting calls?  “Not a very good one,” Thibodeau said. “I’ll leave it at that.” Despite taking just six foul shots, Brunson finished with 61 points and could’ve surpassed Carmelo Anthony’s single-season Knicks record with the game winner.
