Detroit – Mikal Bridges believes that Pistons should choose a different strategy. The current one is not going to work at Jalen Brunson.
Routinely Boud Brunson fans every time he received the ball and sang “FK You Brunson” through the victory of game 3 118-116 of the Knicks over the Pistons on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.
“That is nothing,” Bridges said after practice on Saturday. “Words will not harm it. That is losing your breath or simply so that the crowd works. But that does not bother at all.”
Brunson finished the game with 30 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
Mitchell Robinson did not practice on Saturday due to a disease.
But coach Tom Thibodeau said it should be good for game 4 on Sunday.
He played 16 minutes in game 3 and recorded two points, four rebounds and two robberies.
For the series, he has played a total of 54 minutes and recorded eight points, 17 rebounds, three robberies and two blocks.
The great man of the Pistons, Isaiah Stewart, who lost games 2 and 3 with a knee injury, is day by day, said coach JB BickerStaff on Saturday.
“He is legs,” Bickerstaff said. “Improve every day.”
I wasn’t sure if Stewart would be available on Sunday for game 4.
The Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau played his starting lineup together for 31 minutes in game 3, a large increase in the first two games in the series.
“The game tells you what to do,” said Thibodeau. “You are trying to find a rhythm in the game with units. Is it easy to look at a cash score later and say what you have to do to put this guy. Is more how a group works together?
“How are you created for each other, how do they function as a unit, both offensive and in defense? Then, you are looking for the correct combinations and everything matters, each possession matters.”
