Knicks’ Jalen Brunson fades in 3-point contest after H๏τ start: ‘Oops’

SAN FRANCISCO — Jalen Brunson isn’t ruling out a return to the 3-point compeтιтion after losing in his second try.

The Knicks guard didn’t get past the first round Saturday after rushing through his final rack as time was running low.

He finished with 18 points, and Miami’s Tyler Herro emerged as a first-time champion by beating Golden State’s Buddy Hield in the final.

Jalen Brunson, who was eliminated in the first round, shoots during the NBA 3-point contest.

“Started off H๏τ. I felt great. And then. Oops,” Brunson said. “I feel like I rushed the last rack. You could practice all you want, but once you get out there it’s a tad different.”

Brunson, who is shooting 40 percent this season from beyond the arc, was trying to become the first Knick and first lefty to win the compeтιтion. He might try again.
