An incredulous Jalen Brunson could not believe he hadn’t heard a whistle. And he let official Tyler Ford know it.Seconds earlier, with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Frost Bank Center, he stepped into a contested 3-pointer in front of San Antonio Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama’s foot clearly slid into Brunson’s landing zone, causing Brunson to twist his ankle upon landing.No call was made.Brunson got up and limped back down the court as Spurs forward Devin Vassell sprinted into a 3-pointer of his own, eliminating the New York Knicks’ opportunity to challenge the play and putting the Spurs up 62-53. Still, Brunson and Knicks coach Mike Brown gave Ford and the officiating crew a piece of their mind during the brief stoppage.While San Antonio escaped unscathed, the play could have had ramifications if the Spurs won and extended the series to six games. The NBA would have reviewed the play and determined whether it warranted a retroactive flagrant foul. If the league decided it did, it would have been Wembanyama’s fourth flagrant point of the playoffs. That would mean the Defensive Player of the Year would have been suspended for Game 6 in New York.The star received his first two flagrant points for an elbow to the throat of Minnesota Timberwolves big man Naz Reid in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. He was assessed a Flagrant 2 on the floor and ejected. His third flagrant point came in Game 4 of the finals after he elbowed Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns in the chin.
