That seamlessly harmless act cost the rookie $25K in fines and cost Knicks guard Jalen Brunson the game ball after his career-high 61-point performance. Brunson and Wembanyama were the stars of the show. Brunson recorded six assists and four rebounds along with his career high, and Wembanyama was three assists away from a 40-point, 20-rebound triple-double.
