Jalen Brunson saves the Knicks

Brunson got the last laugh again in Detroit and saved the kinks from more disappointment.

After crossing Ausar Thompson and drilling the 3, the pistons turned the ball the next time it was owned. Brunson, who dealt with an ankle injury, scored 40 points even though he was followed by Thompson.

New York had two separate double -digit leads that wasted it in the game, which led by 15 in the first half and at 11 in the fourth. The offensive of the Knicks either played quickly with ball movements or more stagnating and loosely with the ball. New York exchanged its fighting third quarters against a bad second quarter in which the pistons exceeded the kinks by 16.

In the end, however, Detroit fiddled some of its own and dropped a lead of five points in the last few minutes.

Pistons are too short, but should be celebrated

Everything came up with the fourth quarter. The pistons won the second 38-22 and the Knicks the third 37-24. Detroit and New York exchanged strokes during the fourth strokes, with the crowd in the Little Caesars Arena going through an roller coaster from emotions.

But Brunson appeared to achieve his 40th point of the evening in the game winner. The season of the pistons suddenly started in one possession. Detroit even had a last game for the score, but Cade Cunningham was twice on Malik Beasley, who poured the ball off the fingers and from the borders.

Although the pistons were neglected in six games, this should undoubtedly be celebrated for a season.

After Detroit won a franchise-work 14 games in 2023-24 in 2023-24, he returned to six games this season and led New York to six games. The team did it, without the shooters, Jaden Ivey, and the valuable role, the players Isaiah Stewart, who played in game 1 only 19 minutes before the right knee inflammation, kept him off the square for the rest of the series.
