New York Knicks point guard and Team USA supreme ruler Jalen Brunson delivered an immaculate performance on Sunday to put a cap on an extraordinary weekend of American hoops.
Scoring 21 points on a flawless 9-9 shooting, Brunson led the USA Basketball Men’s National Team to a 98–88 win over FIBA’s best-ranked Spain, on the lawn of the latter (and reigning) World Champions in Malaga, on the shores of the sunny Iberian country.
Spain (the no. 1 nation in the FIBA ranks) lifted the WC trophy in 2019 and they will be defending in Manila (Philippines) when the ball tips off a few days from now.
