NextImg:Paul Pierce stomps on Jalen Brunson jersey after Knicks’ loss in bizarre video

Paul Pierce didn’t wait long to celebrate the Knicks’ demise.

The Basketball Hall of Famer took to social media immediately following the conclusion of Game 7 at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks were punished by the Indiana Pacers 130-109.

Pierce posted a video of himself stomping on a Jalen Brunson jersey, repeating, “What’d you say, homie?” and later adding, “Y’all still talkin’?”

Pierce posted two laughing emojis and three “quiet” ones.

Brunson left the game during the second half with what was revealed to be a fractured hand by the Knicks.

OG Anunoby made his return to the starting lineup but was limited to just five minutes of play due to his hamstring strain.

Josh Hart played through an abdominal strain but fouled out of the contest.

Pierce played for the Boston Celtics from 1998-2013, winning a title with the 2008 edition of the team.

The Knicks would have faced Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals had they won on Sunday.

The Celtics swept the Knicks with the Carmelo Anthony-Amar’s Stoudemire led team in the first round of the 2011 playoffs.

The Knicks got their revenge in the 2013 first round, beating Boston in six games.

The Knicks ended the series without Brunson, Julius Randle, Bojan Bogdanovic, Mitchell Robinson and Anunoby due to injuries.

The loss marked their second consecutive Game 7 defeat at home, the most recent coming in 1995 to the Reggie Miller-led Pacers in the semifinals.
