00:00the next the opportunity opportunity to clinch this opening round set over detroit booked as a

00:05five and a half point home favorite the pistons had other ideas showing their resolve once again

00:11they have led in the fourth quarter and all three games inside the mecca they lead at the end of the

00:17final buzzer last night 106 103 detroit wins outright as a five and a half point dog to force

00:23a game six tomorrow night back in the motor city jy it was pretty competitive down the stretch

00:30we saw a couple of weird moments for tibbs keeping jalen brunson and josh hart on the sideline

00:36when the pistons were starting to pull away to go up by two possessions how did detroit outlast new

00:43york down the stretch in the fourth quarter one the play at thompson was phenomenal on an offensive

00:50defensive end scoring the ball and obviously his defense on jalen brunson uh was one thing uh number

00:56two jalen during on the rebound even though that he got himself in the foul trouble he did a really good

01:00job of controlling the boards and then we get to tips uh i think it's about you know as a coach

01:07i want people to understand this you wonder why coaches don't want to burn timeouts early we always

01:13had a rule that you want to save two to at least two timeouts down the stretch of the game so now we

01:18have a situation where josh hart and jalen brunson are out of the game because they both got injured

01:24around the same time and now you have one timeout left left so tips sat on it which was probably the

01:32most critical mistake he could have done there's one of three things you do folks okay number one

01:37you call your last time out probably don't want to do it because you want to be able to advance the

01:41ball late in the game so it comes down to option two or option three option two is you do it you just

01:46take a foul you take not a clear path foul you take a foul you stop the clock and then that would

01:52allow uh obviously detroit then to go to the foul line so then it comes to the option they should

01:57have done that i thought someone would no one talked about just have someone step out of bounds

02:02just commit a violation just do something to stop the clock and get your best offensive player and

02:09your mode your your nails and glue guy does everything right in josh hart and get them back in the game

02:14i thought it was a very telling scene i said at master square garden that they didn't consider

02:19option three especially early on you can't have those two guys sitting for that long of a time down

02:25you can't have those two guys sitting for that long of a time down without problems don't you X
