Christian Braun blames himself for momentum swing after dunking on Rudy Gobert, getting technical foul
MINNEAPOLIS — Christian Braun was teleported back in time to one of his college games.
It was Nov. 26, 2021, against his new Nuggets teammate DaRon Holmes II and the Dayton Flyers. With 1:45 remaining in the first half, Braun taunted after a slam dunk that put Kansas up 44-29 and received a technical foul. Dayton ended the half on a 6-0 run and then tied the game four minutes after the intermission. KU lost on a buzzer-beater.
Braun recalled that game to his teammates in the Denver locker room Friday night, after a dramatic 119-116 loss to the Timberwolves. It’s not a fond memory for him, and neither was this highlight.
