Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. I'm Zena Cato. We are going to be covering the game sixes across the Western and Eastern Conference. David DeFore is actually at the LA Clippers Denver Nuggets game. We'll catch up with him in a second. But first, James Edwards III is here to break down how the Detroit Pistons ended their season. James, how are you?
I'm good. I'm good. Running on fumes, but that's playoff basketball. I think we all are.
I think we all are, including the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons. They close out their series. I think, you know, if you're looking at the two sides of the NBA sphere, New York-Detroit was pretty much the most interesting, most fun series overall. You think about a series that ended 4-2. decisive scores, 15-point differential between all six games. Very tight series.
Actually, second in NBA history to have four straight games decided by three points or fewer. The last time that happened was in 1984 in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Celtics and the 76ers. So... New York, Detroit making some history. Of course, Detroit made their own history, getting to the playoffs, winning a playoff game, but they weren't able to win at home, James.
I want to start first and foremost with the Knicks because We saw a Brunson clinic, a Brunson burner. As the Knicks would say, bad boy Brunson came out. I mean, 40-burger, four rebounds, seven assists, but particularly, once again, another unbelievable clutch performance. I mean, he cooks up the craziest moves, despite Asar Thompson having unbelievable clamps on him in the fourth quarter.
Like, are you surprised at all by what Brunson is capable of doing in the fourth quarter?
No, it's hard to describe. I'm tired of describing it. Not hard to describe. I'm tired of describing it. This guy's been doing it all year. Listen, there's been numerous game winners, numerous go-ahead buckets. If somebody tells you they remember them all this season, they're lying. There was like a five or six game stretch at the end of February and early March where he had...
four or five game winning or go ahead buckets that really in the end were beneficial to the Knicks clenching home court advantage. This guy just has a poise about him.
