Once Jalen Brunson looked at his less than glamorous shooting performance in Game 1 of the Dallas Mavericks’ first-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz, he instantly knew he had to make some changes.
Brunson noticed an un-Brunson-like 9-of-24 shooting output from the floor in the series opener, and that didn’t sit well with him. So when Game 2 rolled around Monday, no one in particular had to tell Brunson what to do to prepare himself for that pivotal contest.
“Most importantly, I think in Game 1 I missed a lot of shots that I normally make, so I wasn’t trying to go away from that necessarily,” Brunson said.
