On Tuesday night, the Knicks took the floor at MSG in hopes of putting the Pistons away for good. Brunson has been leading the charge in a big way, scoring 30-plus points in each

To make matters worse in the 106-103 Game 5 loss, New York saw Jalen Brunson -- the Clutch Player of the Year and their superstar -- suffer an ankle injury. He landed awkwardly and tweaked his ankle, with the floor panel seemingly bending inward.

It’s also time for Tom Thibodeau to amp up the two-man game with Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. KAT showed off his range with clutch shots in Detroit earlier in the series, and the Knicks’ easiest path to points surely involves more of that pick-and-pop action.
