- An Amazon Prime camera caught a first‑quarter exchange in which a Raptors fan yelled “That’s a flop” and Brunson replied “Why you harassing me?” while pointing to the replay.

- On the NBA on Prime set, Brunson shared playful banter with Udonis Haslem about a baseline action and joked that if he were NYC mayor he would let the thief of Josh Hart’s stolen watches walk free, referencing Hart’s reported $185,000 loss.
