Jalen Brunson refuses to take Chris Paul’s hand after getting clobbered at midcourt

Jalen Brunson wanted no part of Chris Paul after the Warriors star rocked him at midcourt on Thursday night during their 110-99 loss at Madison Square Garden. 

The two collided with one another just as the buzzer had sounded to end the third quarter between the Knicks and Warriors, with Paul seemingly stopping right in front of Brunson and sending the Knicks star to the ground. 

Paul went to help Brunson up, but the point guard looked at his hand with disdain and said something to Paul before Knicks teammate Bojan Bogdanović walked over.

Chris Paul walked away from the scene.

Whatever was said, it was abundantly clear that Brunson was not happy, and Paul walked away with his hands raised.
