At the end of the night, the one who presented Cameron Payne as the hero of the garden and Jalen Brunson as the one that had the “Cape”, the word of Tom Thibodeau to decontrate the strange sequence that Brunson returned to the locker room and anguished as a new couple or anti -icing antidote of Sneakned, the Knicks still in an initial message.
They were 5:27 to have dropped 1-0 in their first round series with the Pistons. If they were Narc for the 21-0 race, they would have faced a completely different crisis time on Saturday night. Maybe they would not have won at all. Detroit showed that he could defend himself for three quarters while he was on the road.
That does not mean that the Knicks finished game 1 was not an impression. Brunson, with 34 points, was impressive. Anunoby, with 23 points and many points saved while containing Cunningham, was impressive. Payne, who virtue 11 or his 14 points in the fourth quarter, was impressive. But as they enter game 2 on Monday, since both teams run it in the garden, the series changes to Detroit, the Knicks need to avoid brass in game 2. They cannot afford to give this young and physical is the series The series Ten Reflect, to dream of what could happen in front of their own fans.
Knicks cannot enter another situation such as game 1. cannot refer to another 21-0 race to save them. They cannot be established with a strong 5:27 and forget about the other 43:33. They must take care of business in the garden, a place full of fans and celebrities and everything that should be the playoffs basketball, and then tell any victories in Detroit such as bonds.
