Kevin Harlan always knows how to meet the moment.

As Jalen Brunson crashed into the TNT broadcast trying to save a loose ball during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Knicks and Pacers, he delivered one of his all-time best calls.

“I’m wet, I’m dirty, there’s stuff all over the place!” exclaimed Harlan as he masterfully kept up with the action on the court.

Kevin Harlan-Jalen Brunson collision

With a little over two minutes left in the third quarter, Brunson went careening into the TNT broadcasters as he tried to save a loose ball. The point guard managed to deflect it to Josh Hart for an easy fast break bucket, but he appeared to knock over some items on the desk, prompting Harlan to exclaim:Β “I’m wet, I’m dirty, there’s stuff all over the place!

Harlan and analysts Reggie Miller and Stan Van Gundy managed to refocus and continued to call the game, even with objects strewn everywhere. Apparently, the Knicks fans sitting behind the broadcasters provided some napkins when play was stopped, helping the broadcast team clean up after themselves.
