Jalen Brunson Takes Blame as Defending Champion Knicks Drop to 0-3 Start

Jalen Brunson accepted full responsibility after the defending champion New York Knicks fell to 0-3 following a 111-102 loss to the Orlando Magic. Brunson struggled down the stretch, shooting 12-of-28 from the field (1-for-7 from three) and committing a key late turnover as New York squandered a 10-point fourth-quarter lead. He noted that "everything falls on my shoulders" as the Knicks became the first defending champions to lose their opening three games since 2011-12.
