INDIANAPOLIS — If you cover Jalen Brunson long enough, you understand that failure is indeed an option.
And it’s not because the point guard fails frequently.
Rather, to steal another cliché, he’s not afraid to fail. Fear can’t be part of the equation for the player who takes every big shot.
But it’s more than the cojones factor driving Brunson. It’s revenge. Or better yet, it’s an insistent desire to correct failures.
