Deception

Fallacies
(90%)
The author makes several statements that contain informal fallacies. The first is an appeal to emotion when he describes Brunson's performance as 'a series of mistakes leading the Knicks to a costly loss at home on Tuesday.' This statement is not based on any objective facts and is intended to elicit an emotional response from the reader. The author also makes a hasty generalization when he states that 'Brunson finished with 40 points on 15-of-32 shooting from the field and 4-of-11 shooting from three-point range, but the performance fell on a series-shifting 112-106 loss to the 76ers in Game 5 on Tuesday.' The author is implying that Brunson's poor performance was directly responsible for the Knicks' loss, without considering other factors that may have contributed to the outcome. Additionally, there are several instances of loaded language used by the author, such as 'cardinal basketball sin,' 'costly loss,' and 'series-shifting.' These phrases are intended to sway the reader's opinion against Brunson and in favor of the 76ers.
