The start of the meeting confirms the experience of the Knicks for these spring meetings, with a much better start than that of the pistons. New York spends a 10-3 to enter the game. But Detroit veterans are there to help perform this transition and Tim Hardaway Jr. illustrated with two dunks. OG Anunoby scored 12 points in this very rhythmic and balanced first quarter (27-27).
Knicks cannot get rid of pistons because Jalen Brunson is hard. The All-Star lacks a lot of shoots near the circle. Malik Beasley is at ease at 3-PTS and, at the break, no training managed to take over (57-55). It is ultimately Detroit who succeeds, with an excellent cunningham gift. He supports where it hurts for New York, by multiplying Pick-And-Roll and the defense of Knicks does not like it. Isaiah Stewart pushes several shoots and with the points in counter-attack of Beasley, the pistons are before the last act (83-91).
But there, everything collapses for the troops of JB Bickerstaff. The many lost balloons weigh the attack and, opposite, the waves do not stop. The Knicks spend a 21-0 and put their opponent's head underwater. Young pistons will succeed in reacting a little, but New York won 123-112 and takes the first round of this series which is definitely very, very interesting.
What to remember
-The 21-0 of the last quarter. As expected, during a majority of the meeting, the Knicks struggled to maneuver this solid Detroit team, which had taken control before the last turn. Then, going up a notch in defense, forcing lost balloons, they managed to come back and have the wind in the back. And it lasted to the point of being able to make a significant gap with a 21-0! The turn of the match, clearly.
– The pistons were at the level. Even if this boost killed the players of JB Bickerstaff, the coach can be delighted with one thing: his troops were present in this game 1 and at the rendezvous, thus confirming that beat them four times will not be easy at all.
-Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns rose in power. The first had a very, very difficult first period, missing almost everything. His shots were short and failed. In the second, he found the address by being much better. The playmaker ends with 34 points and 8 assists. The second, he made a big match with 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 interceptions and 2 counters, being even more sharp after the break.
