NBA Finals: League reportedly looking into fans who directed 'vulgar' taunts at Knicks star Jalen Brunson in Game 1

Following the New York Knicks' 105-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, cameras captured a curious exchange between Knicks star Jalen Brunson and head official Scott Foster. While some thought maybe Brunson was still upset about a missed call earlier in the contest, it turns out something else irked Brunson at the end of the contest.

Brunson reportedly spoke to Foster about two fans who directed "vulgar, profane" flopping taunts in Brunson's direction as the game was coming to a close, per Chris Haynes.

At one point while talking to Foster, it looked like Brunson was going to approach the crowd to possibly engage with the fans in question, but Foster moved over and got in Brunson's way.

The NBA apparently took notice of Brunson's complaints, and are reportedly looking into the situation, per Haynes. The Knicks played Game 1 in San Antonio on Wednesday, and will play there again in Game 2 on Friday. At that point, the series will shift back to New York for the next two games.

Brunson battled multiple injuries en route to dropping 30 points on the Spurs during New York's Game 1 win. The first injury occurred early, as Brunson briefly left the game due to a knee issue. He later hurt his ankle, and angrily confronted Foster over a perceived missed call that led to that injury.

But Brunson appeared to shake off both issues in the second half, scoring 19 of his 30 points in the final two quarters to carry the Knicks to victory.

It's unclear whether Brunson will carry an injury designation into Game 2, or if the fans in question will be allowed to attend that contest after the NBA looks into the situation.
