03:43Бронсон thought there was contact from Thompson.
03:46Now they'll work it to the other side, and Bridges, hard drive, kick, OG Ananobi, shooting practice, can't hit the
03:56three.
03:56And the ball deflected out of bounds off of New York.
04:01He really took away the toenail joke right there because he didn't make the shots.
04:06Yeah, now we've got to retire.
04:07Продолжение следует...
04:37This year he had 25 points but zero assists and six turnovers.
04:42The Pistons defense has bothered Jalen Brunson.
04:46Harris, New York native, off the mark.
04:48That first meeting was a 121-90 Detroit victory.
04:52Coming in at 29 points, 13 assists.
04:55Hart, he got denied by Reed!
04:59And a break opportunity here.
05:01Thompson, no look.
05:03Robinson, ball fake.
05:04The flyby and the jumper is too strong.
05:08The long pass, caught by Hart.
05:11Touchdown, Knicks on the jam!
05:13Well, that's a great pass by Carl Anthony Towns.
05:17Okay, big fella.
05:19That was less unsound-like.
05:21Paul Reed on the interior cracks the seal for Detroit.
05:24Well, that's what Detroit will do, Dwayne,
05:27is even when you score, they're coming right back at you.
05:30This team's third in the league in fast-break points,
05:32and they're not all off the turnovers.
05:34Well, that makes Jalen Brunson turnover a little better
05:38because it wasn't one that allowed Detroit to get out in transition.
05:40It was one that they had to take the ball out on the side.
05:43You can get back, and you can set your defense.
05:45Missed by Ananobi.
05:46The Knicks are 2 of 5 from the field.
05:48The Pistons are 1 of 5.
05:50Thompson gives up his dribble, needs some help.
05:53And Towns nearly got a steal.
05:55Reed with the handles.
05:58Reed.
05:59That's a step-back J.
06:00And it's short.
06:02I think New York will be pretty happy
06:04if those are the shots the Pistons end up getting tonight.
06:08Knicks come in number 3 in offensive rating,
06:10number 11 in defensive rating,
06:12but much improved over the last 12 games.
06:15Well, not last 12 games, I am.
06:17The best defensive rating in the league.
06:21Brunson with the shake and bake,
06:23and he's going to the free-throw line.
06:24Well, Stan, when you was my coach and Shaq was there,
06:27this is what we did.
06:28Shaq would tell me, when he gets the rebound,
06:30leak out, go get you an easy one.
06:32And this is what you do.
06:33You see your big guy down there in position,
06:34you just leak out, and you get you an easy one
06:36to start the game.
06:37That was just a great pass.
06:40And New York would like to play like that.
06:42Mike Brown would still like them to play faster than they are.
06:47Mike Brown's team limited the mistakes
06:49in the first half of the season.
06:5213.6 turnovers per game,
06:54fourth fewest in the NBA.
06:55Compare that with Detroit,
06:57what J.B. Bickerstaff wants to see
06:59in the second half of the season,
07:00lower the turnover numbers.
07:02Yeah, I mean, nothing is faster than the basketball.
07:05And so he wants to see the pace.
07:06He wants to see these guys be faster.
07:08That means get the ball at the court.
07:09That means move the ball.
07:10The ball moves faster than anything and anyone.
07:13And Brunson adds to the New York lead.
07:16Detroit comes in 15.3 turnovers per game,
07:1923rd in the NBA.
07:20They are number one in a bunch of categories.
07:23Steals, forced turnovers.
07:25Cunningham, short.
07:27Harris got his hands on it,
07:28and Bridges with a loose ball foul.
07:31Well, both these teams are great on the offensive glass.
07:35New York has been a much better defensive rebounding team
07:39over the course of the season,
07:42but Detroit will attack the glass.
07:45I know Cunningham missed that shot,
07:47but he will get that shot all night.
07:49Ked is not probably going to come out too high.
07:51He's going to allow for that shot,
07:53and he's going to get it right there all night.
07:54And the three ball won't go.
07:56The Pistons are one of eight from the field.
07:59Brunson turns the corner on Cunningham.
08:02Feed it.
08:03Wide open look.
08:04Bottom.
08:04Bridges.
08:07Well, Bridges is number one in the league,
08:09and corner three's made.
08:11That's his 61st one of the season.
08:16The Pistons take a timeout.
08:19The question will be,
08:20was that toe on the line for Bridges?
08:22They'll determine that.
08:23Knicks have the early lead over the Pistons.
08:26Minus eight and a half.
08:27They over under 214 and a half here at MSG.
08:32That was called a two-pointer.
08:34The toe was on the line for Mikkel Bridges.
08:38Pistons, red hot, 12 of 15.
08:41Knicks, hot, 10 of 12.
08:43But one of those losses was two weeks ago.
08:45118 to 80 in Detroit.
08:48Ball movement leads to a Harris baseline delivery,
08:51and nothing is going down for Detroit.
08:53Offensive rebound.
08:54Read to Harris, and that's short off the rim.
08:57And knocked out of bounds off of New York.
09:00Pistons are one of ten shooting.
09:03Well, and this is the exact opposite
09:07of the way they started two weeks ago.
09:09I mean, they lit it up.
09:10This team's not a good three-point shooting team.
09:12Detroit, but they made 33 threes in the two games against New York this year.
09:17And quite simply, if Detroit's going to make threes,
09:20they're going to be pretty hard to beat.
09:22I think they're getting great looks,
09:24and I'm going to be mad at these misses right now.
09:27Cunningham.
09:27Because they're getting great looks,
09:29and so you eventually feel that we continue to get looks like this,
09:32they will fall.
09:35Field goal percentage defense.
09:37Detroit's right near the top.
09:38They're number two in the NBA.
09:39They're fifth in defending the three,
09:41but Stan, you alluded to it.
09:43Shooting the three has not been their forte.
09:46And that ball rolls off of Hart.
09:48Turnover, and now Hart made his point,
09:51and Courtney Kirkland has changed the call.
09:54Last touch, Robinson.
09:55Wow, Josh Hart won an argument there.
09:59Actually, Tyler Ricks was running in to make that correction.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Bounced off the left foot of Robinson.
10:05Knicks trigger in.
10:07Towns way outside.
10:09Somehow that made its way to Bridges.
10:12Ah, the bullet feed,
10:13and the awareness of Hart to hit Bridges for two.
10:17Well, that's great ball movement,
10:18and you see one of the reasons
10:21New York's one of the best offenses in this league.
10:24Cunningham hangs and hits, plus the harm.
10:29Cade Cunningham always under control,
10:32and so smooth in his movements.
10:35Yeah, he just plays with that poise and that pace.
10:38He's going to get to whatever spot he wants to get to.
10:40Like I said, he missed two shots early
10:43that he's going to continue to make,
10:44but he's getting anything he wants
10:46because he's getting anywhere on the floor.
10:48Second foul on Bridges,
10:49so that means Mike Brown has to make a change here
10:51with Landry Schammett replacing Mikkel Bridges
10:55at the 7.33 mark of this opening quarter.
10:58Well, if you're going to open up as much as OG just did,
11:02and force Cade Cunningham baseline to his strong hand,
11:06your help's got to be a lot quicker
11:08than the other was right there.
11:14Half court set here for New York.
11:16They lead the Pistons 11-8.
11:19Coach, I don't think that's the game plan.
11:20Yeah, I don't think Cade Cade to his strong hand.
11:23Spins, and Anobe gets the roll.
11:27That was pretty.
11:28Well, that's an area over the course of his career
11:31where he's really improved,
11:32being able to put the ball on the floor and make plays.
11:35And Anobe makes the defensive play.
11:40Opportunity for the Knicks to extend their lead.
11:44Anobe wants it against Cunningham.
11:46Isolation.
11:48Tend to shoot.
11:50Towns.
11:52And it bounces off the front of the rim.
11:54He wanted to call down low against Reed.
11:58Thompson hasn't been involved here offensively.
12:01Oh, killer cross.
12:02Dish.
12:03Cunningham.
12:04Gets it to go.
12:05That's a highlight.
12:07Well, I'll tell you what.
12:08I think you just reverse jinxed
12:10Asar Thompson saying he hadn't been involved.
12:14Well, that's the role of the play-by-play man.
12:17Get guys motivated.
12:18Yeah, you certainly did.
12:2113-10.
12:23Knicks.
12:24Got him.
12:24The bump.
12:25And Harris is going to the free-throw line.
12:28It's just a great crossover on a good on-ball defender.
12:33And actually drew two guys to the help,
12:36which leaves Cunningham open.
12:38But OG Anobe, great.
12:40Right to left spin and then a finish.
12:43What I love about what Thompson did, Coach,
12:45is he obviously got a great crossover.
12:46He didn't use his athleticism and just take off.
12:49He stayed on his feet.
12:50He stayed on his feet,
12:51which allowed him to make a great pass to Cade.
12:53Cade's patience as well to take his time to get his bucket.
12:56This team is very poised.
12:58Well, and I think one of the things you mentioned
13:00with Cade cutting him earlier
13:02that allows him to not be sped up
13:04and allows him to have that patience
13:06is his size and strength.
13:07So he doesn't have to get it off quick
13:09to beat a shot blocker.
13:11He can power the ball up.
13:13Mitchell Robinson in.
13:15Mohamed Diowarian.
13:16So Diowarian remains in the rotation
13:18ahead of the newly acquired Jeremy Sohan,
13:21who Mike Brown told us
13:23is probably going to get worked in slowly.
13:28Pistons sticking with a five on the floor.
13:31Brunson!
13:32The Euro!
13:33No!
13:33Robinson got a tip attack,
13:35and it's cleared by Reed.
13:38One-point lead for the Knicks.
13:40Cunningham!
13:41Couldn't bank it in!
13:42And now a break.
13:44If the Knicks can run quickly,
13:46Hart right down the middle!
13:47He banks it home.
13:49Hart's a great finisher.
13:51You get him in transition,
13:53he's going to finish the play.
13:55for a guy who isn't a great athlete
13:59over the rim.
14:01Well, Coach, also, too,
14:02he does not get any play calls.
14:04That's his opportunity
14:05as Tobias gets the N-1.
14:07A chance at a three-point play
14:09for the veteran Tobias Harris
14:11in year number 15 in the NBA.
14:14That's a good move to the middle,
14:16and great finish versus contact.
14:19If you look at Josh Hart,
14:20take that bump.
14:21He didn't even move.
14:22But this is Josh Hart's opportunity, Coach.
14:24No play's called in the half-court,
14:25so his eyes light up
14:26when he gets in a full court
14:28because he knows
14:29this is my opportunity to score.
14:30Yeah, great point.
14:33Harris with a chance to tie this game up
14:36and does not 5.30 to go
14:39in the opening quarter.
14:41Four team fouls against New York,
14:43just one against Detroit.
14:47Dioara way outside.
14:48Mike Brown impressed by Dioara's field.
14:52Robinson kicked extra.
14:54Brunson short.
14:57Knocked away by Dioara.
14:59On his horse is Harris.
15:01Was that a self-pass?
15:02That's what the fans thought.
15:04Cunningham knocks in a triple.
15:07Told you we weren't worried about Cunningham
15:08coming out missing those shots early.
15:10He's got it to the rhythm and the flow,
15:12but he's getting all the shots that he wants.
15:14Pistons up by two,
15:16their first lead.
15:17Dioara to Shavik.
15:19It's off.
15:21And Reed with the board.
15:23Well, Reed's doing a great job.
15:24And they did this to Mitchell Robinson
15:26the last time.
15:28He had no offensive rebounds.
15:31And another chance at a three-point play.
15:33Paul Reed with the banker
15:35and the foul on Brunson.
15:41Great pass by Cunningham.
15:44Oh, yeah.
15:48This is where the fans got upset
15:50that they thought this was a self-pass by Harris.
15:54A travel.
15:55He definitely did something.
15:57Back to the reason.
15:58Referees will say he lost possession.
16:00Okay.
16:00So it doesn't count.
16:01But you and I both know
16:03when everybody in the building
16:05on both teams even says
16:08that's a travel,
16:09should have been a travel.
16:11Some changes here for Detroit.
16:13Ron Holland II is in.
16:15And Dennis Jenkins,
16:17who played here at the Garden
16:19for St. John's.
16:20In fact, his former head coach,
16:22Rick Pitino, is sitting courtside.
16:24Jenkins has been one of the great stories
16:26in the NBA this season.
16:28Brunson gets to the 10.
16:31Even though Brunson scored there,
16:33and you look at Thompson's defense
16:34on, he makes Brunson kind of rush
16:37a little bit more
16:38than probably what he's comfortable with
16:39because he knows
16:40he can't play around with him.
16:42So it makes him go a little faster.
16:43That ends an 8-0 run.
16:45No look.
16:46Ball movement.
16:47Jenkins gives it up.
16:48Cunningham sticks it.
16:50Wow.
16:51I mean, Cunningham's a 33%
16:53three-point shooter,
16:55but against New York,
16:56he's lit it up every time they play.
16:58That's his third three
17:00already in the first quarter.
17:03Diawara.
17:04Pass.
17:04Into Robinson for the flush.
17:06That's two impressive passes by Diawara.
17:08One across court,
17:10you know,
17:11with the right hand at that time.
17:12Just understanding the offense.
17:14That shows you
17:14that this young man knows the playbook
17:16and understands the offense.
17:17Well, now,
17:18he's guarding Cunningham
17:20and an illegal screen
17:21on Dennis Jenkins.
17:23So, Jenkins picks up the personal.
17:26340 to go in the first.
17:27No arguments here from anybody.
17:29This one's pretty obvious.
17:31Yeah, he was moving.
17:32Lowered the shoulder
17:33into Diawara.
17:36This is what Mike Brown
17:37was talking about.
17:38Yes, he did.
17:38He brought this up.
17:39Something he marveled about
17:40about young fella,
17:41but this is a guy
17:42that you can tell.
17:42He knows where the guys
17:43on the court is going to be.
17:44You cannot make those passes
17:45without knowing
17:46where your guys are going to be.
17:47Hart lost his footing.
17:49Javante Green is in for Detroit.
17:51Rising up.
17:52Shamit.
17:52And a foul call.
17:55Dennis Jenkins already
17:56with two fouls
17:58about as quickly
17:59as you could get him.
18:00And Toluse Smith,
18:02the third,
18:03is in the game for Detroit
18:05on a two-way deal
18:07because they need a big body.
18:09He's getting his opportunity
18:10in the absence of Duren
18:11and Stewart.
18:13Let's check out
18:14the upcoming national TV schedule
18:15tomorrow on ESPN.
18:17Dallas is at Minnesota.
18:19That'll be followed
18:19by the Clippers
18:20and the Lakers
18:21Saturday on NBA TV.
18:23The Magic and the Sun
18:24Saturday on ABC.
18:25The Knicks hosting
18:26the Houston Rockets.
18:28And here comes
18:30Jose Alvarado.
18:32It just feels like
18:33he was made to be
18:35in that uniform
18:36growing up
18:37here in New York
18:39as a Knicks fan.
18:40Stephon Marbury
18:42is very much
18:44on Team Alvarado.
18:46And there is
18:47little doubt
18:48that he's going to be
18:49a fan favorite
18:49here at the Garden
18:51just based on his
18:51playing style.
18:52Hey, listen.
18:53Everywhere he goes,
18:54he's going to be
18:55a fan favorite.
18:57He's got about
18:5718,000 people in here
18:59on Team Alvarado.
19:0123-20.
19:03Pistons lead it.
19:04Just over three minutes
19:04to go in the first.
19:05Jab.
19:06Jumper.
19:07Off the mark.
19:09Rebound foot four
19:09claimed by Brunson.
19:11Well, you can play
19:12Alvarado and Brunson
19:13together.
19:13You obviously can play
19:14them, you know,
19:15separate as well.
19:16So he just,
19:16he brings a different
19:17dynamics to this team.
19:19Threading the needle,
19:20Brunson hits Alvarado.
19:21Shot clock's down to 10.
19:25Way outside.
19:26Brunson draws Cunningham.
19:28Five to shoot.
19:29Gets bunched in the area.
19:30Deflected.
19:31Turnover.
19:33Cunningham makes the play.
19:34Lob it up.
19:36That was too high
19:37for Toluse Smith.
19:40Alvarado is going to
19:41do it himself
19:41with the lay-in.
19:43Got it with the left hand.
19:46I got a feeling
19:47that Alvarado
19:47can tie his shoestrings
19:48in this arena
19:49and they're going to
19:49go crazy
19:51with everything he does.
19:52That's already
19:53six fast break points
19:54for New York.
19:56Acceleration by Cunningham
19:57to the wing
19:58and that jumper
19:59is nice.
20:00Javante Green.
20:04He had been 0 for 6
20:06from 3
20:06in his last two games,
20:084 for 14
20:09in the last 5.
20:10So good to see him
20:11getting it going
20:12a little bit.
20:13They are now
20:134 of 10
20:14from 3-point territory.
20:15They take only
20:1735% of their shots
20:18from 3-point range.
20:19That's the 4th lowest rate
20:20in the NBA.
20:21The miss by Brunson.
20:23Robinson
20:24doesn't get the roll.
20:25But he's fouled.
20:28We got a timeout.
20:31The Knicks
20:32in transition
20:33and Alvarado
20:35with the full extension
20:36for New York.
20:39Brought to you

20:53Jose Alvarado
20:55New York
20:56through and through
20:57from the Bronx
20:58high school
20:58in Queens
21:00already feels like
21:01he's been
21:01very much accepted
21:03by his teammates
21:04and by this
21:05fan base.
21:06Let's get more
21:07right now
21:07with Cassidy Hubbard.
21:09Yeah, and for
21:10Jose Alvarado
21:10joining the Knicks
21:11has been emotional.
21:12The Brooklyn native
21:13called putting on
21:14the jersey
21:14pretty surreal
21:15and said hearing
21:16that Madison Square
21:17Garden ovation
21:18in his debut
21:19hit different.
21:20And he admitted
21:20there were mixed
21:21emotions leaving
21:22New Orleans
21:22but said coming
21:23home to play
21:24for the city
21:24that raised him
21:25is a blessing.
21:26And in the locker room
21:27teammates have been
21:28clear about what
21:29they want from him.
21:30Josh Hart said
21:30it's the toughness,
21:31the shot making,
21:32and especially
21:33defensively bringing
21:34energy, bringing
21:35physicality.
21:36That's what we love
21:37here.
21:38And Alvarado
21:38says the message
21:39to him has been
21:40simple.
21:41Be yourself
21:41and in this city
21:42guys, that edge
21:43tends to resonate.
21:45Yes, and Brooklyn
21:46tough.
21:46Let me make sure
21:47I say it again.
21:49Jose Alvarado
21:50from BKNY
21:53and when he got
21:54the news that
21:55he was coming
21:55to New York
21:56he was just
21:57thrilled
21:58to be a part
21:59of this history.
22:00Jenkins drives in
22:01so aggressive.
22:04And a foul
22:05going the other way.
22:06I'll tell you what,
22:07he did what
22:08you have to do
22:09though against
22:09great pressure
22:10which is go buy it.
22:12You can't mess
22:13around and play
22:14with the ball
22:14against Jose Alvarado.
22:17JB Biggerstaff
22:18is checking
22:18with the second
22:20behind the bench
22:21guys to see
22:22whether they should
22:22challenge it
22:23and they said no.
22:24That's a tough call.
22:25And that's a third
22:26foul on Jenkins.
22:3026-22,
22:31a minute 38
22:32to play here
22:33in the first.
22:34Brunson,
22:35the spin,
22:36the deuce.
22:37That's that footwork
22:38I was talking about
22:39all the judges
22:40and dancing with the stars
22:41but he does a great job
22:42of using his body
22:43to create separation
22:44and then he uses
22:45that,
22:46his footwork,
22:46he uses that spin
22:47alive to be able
22:48to get even more
22:49separation
22:49to get his shot off.
22:50Karis Levert in the game
22:51for Detroit,
22:52nine points
22:53for Brunson.
22:54Levert,
22:55no look,
22:56inside for the jam,
22:57Tolu Smith
22:58puts it down.
23:00All right,
23:00when I first heard you
23:01say Tolu
23:02into the game,
23:02I thought you was
23:03cracking a joke
23:04on OG with his toe.
23:05I didn't know
23:06where he was going.
23:07This is just coincidence.
23:09This is a coincidence
23:09but Tolu,
23:10he played at Mississippi State
23:11with my cousin
23:12Josh Herbert
23:12so shout out to Tolu
23:14for being here,
23:15man,
23:15representing,
23:15but I thought you
23:16was making fun of OG
23:17although if they do
23:19match up,
23:20it's toe versus no toe.
23:23Robinson couldn't finish it
23:24and a foul on Smith.
23:31All right,
23:32Dwayne,
23:32the footwork
23:33of Jalen Brunson,
23:34something that you've
23:35been studying
23:36and you've been
23:36mesmerized like
23:37everybody else.
23:38Yeah,
23:38I mean,
23:38he has different footwork
23:40at different places
23:40on the floor
23:41but I think he does
23:42an amazing job
23:42obviously of using
23:43his body,
23:44using his shoulder
23:45but where he gets
23:46his separation
23:46comes from his footwork
23:48and we're going to
23:49continue to watch this
23:50throughout the game.
23:51He has different ways
23:52to get to his shot
23:53and we'll get a chance
23:54to see it
23:54because he's going
23:54to give us everything.
23:56Robinson of the free
23:57throw line,
23:57he's at 38%
23:58on the season.
23:59What the Knicks
24:00have done inside
24:01on two-pointers
24:03not that surprising
24:05because of no Duren
24:06and no Stewart.
24:07They're 9 of 12
24:08on two-point attempts
24:09or 1 of 7 from 3.
24:11Yeah,
24:11they haven't shot it well
24:12against Detroit all year
24:14and Mitchell Robinson
24:15able to get that one
24:16but he's thrown
24:17three fastballs
24:18that Paul Schienes
24:19would be very proud of.
24:22And Robinson
24:23with a line drive
24:25that goes down.
24:26Two out of two
24:27for Robinson.
24:28We've got a two-point game.
24:2944 seconds to go
24:30on the first.
24:31Jenkins defended
24:32surrounded by Alvarado.
24:37Now a switch out front.
24:39Jenkins drives in
24:40on Shannon.
24:42It got blocked.
24:43Robinson was there.
24:44Up ahead,
24:45Alvarado dishes
24:46from Brooks.
24:47It's going to be
24:48an illegal screen
24:49by Alvarado.
24:50Should have just scored
24:51the bucket himself.
24:52Wanted to be unselfish.
24:55Understood.
24:55Understood what he was doing.
24:58Absolutely.
24:59trying to get the star player
25:00into the game.
25:01Get him an easy bucket.
25:01Know it's a tough night for him.
25:04Just went against him.
25:05Yeah,
25:05he clipped Holland
25:06to make sure that
25:07Brunson would have
25:08the necessary space.
25:11Back to a point
25:12that Cassidy just brought up
25:13about a conversation
25:15between Brunson
25:16and Alvarado
25:17about just being
25:18the best version of himself.
25:19That's how he can make
25:20Brunson better.
25:21That's how he can make
25:21this team better.
25:22So that confidence
25:23that comes from that star
25:24player is important.
25:25And it is the Knicks debut
25:27for Jeremy Sohan.
25:29You think he's into it?
25:30Look at the hair color.
25:32He's committed.
25:34Well,
25:35the Knicks have struggled
25:36defensively for a good
25:37part of the year.
25:38Jeremy Sohan
25:39can certainly help him
25:41in that regard.
25:42He got the LeBubu
25:44colorway.
25:45Y'all got LeBubu's?
25:47Y'all ain't...
25:47Oh, y'all not into it.
25:48Okay.
25:49No, I'm going to Google it.
25:5128-26.
25:52Three kids know what I mean.
25:54Three-second difference
25:55and it's stolen away
25:56by Shannock.
25:58Two seconds.
25:59At the horn.
26:01Oh, gee!
26:02In and out!
26:04A fun first quarter
26:05at the Garden
26:06with the Pistons
26:07in front of the Knicks.
26:1028-26.
26:13Get ready
26:14for second quarter action.
26:15You're watching
26:15the NBA on Prime
26:16presented by
26:17Wingstop.
26:22He waited to build it.
26:24We got Alvoretto.
26:26Puerto Rican power.
26:28Nice to see you again, John.
26:31John McElroy's original.
26:33Now, this team
26:34give us the most trouble
26:36this year.
26:37Not tonight.
26:40That's right!
26:42Let's go, Nick!
26:44That's right!
26:45And Fat Joe
26:46will be doing analysis
26:47with Mary J. Blige
26:49all night here on Prime.
26:50Set in courts.
26:52Hey, look!
26:54Fat Joe,
26:55if you get to know him,
26:56he's more proud
26:57of the teams
26:58he coached
26:59in the Rucker League
27:00here in New York
27:01than he is
27:02of his music career.
27:04Inside,
27:04Holland.
27:05Great post-up.
27:06Reid feeds him.
27:07And they get
27:08the bucket to go
27:09to extend the lead
27:10to four
27:11as we start
27:11this second quarter.
27:12Ian Eagle,
27:13Hall of Famer Dwayne Wade,
27:14the coach Stan Van Gundy,
27:15Cassidy Hubbard,
27:16the rest of our NBA
27:17on Prime crew.
27:19Alvarado draws
27:20the big.
27:21Reid
27:22Bridges is back in.
27:24Diawara as well.
27:25Towns
27:25has got the smaller
27:26Holland.
27:27Alvarado the speed.
27:28And the floater goes!
27:31The one thing
27:32Mike Brown said
27:33about Alvarado
27:34is his energy
27:35is contagious.
27:36And you can see it
27:37whenever he hits the game.
27:38It's like a spark plug
27:39immediately.
27:39Not just for the team
27:40but for the entire city.
27:42Reid inside
27:43to Green
27:44who draws the foul.
27:45Diawara was there
27:46defensively.
27:49Alvarado here.
27:50Paul Reid
27:51beats him
27:52and then just
27:52pushes him off.
27:54Said it did
27:54to you too small.
27:55Wow.
27:57He did flex
27:58a little bit there.
28:01I think though
28:02for New York
28:03they've got
28:04to get
28:05Carl Anthony
28:06Towns involved.
28:07Guys talked
28:07about it
28:08on the
28:09studios
28:10in the studio
28:11about him
28:11needing to be
28:12intentional.
28:13He's got a
28:14much
28:15lighter
28:16Paul Reid
28:16on him.
28:17He hasn't been
28:17anywhere near
28:18the basket
28:19with the ball.
28:20I think he's
28:21got to get
28:22down there.

28:39In early
28:40January
28:40Dwayne
28:41when the
28:42Pistons buried
28:43the Knicks.
28:44Carl Anthony
28:45Towns had four
28:46points, one
28:47rebound, and six
28:49turnovers.
28:50Didn't play in the
28:51second game.
28:52He's got to get
28:52involved here.
28:53That's where their
28:54biggest advantage
28:55should be other
28:56than maybe
28:57Alvarado.
28:58Alvarado gets
28:59to the cup
29:00again.
29:01Well, you don't
29:02want Cat not
29:03engaged.
29:04You don't want to
29:04disengage Cat
29:05Anthony Towns.
29:06And so I think
29:07it will be
29:08important for him
29:08to touch the
29:09ball, feel the
29:09ball, because if
29:10he doesn't, he's
29:11going to rush
29:11every opportunity
29:12he gets.
29:13And Reed rocks
29:14the rim.
29:15Beautiful setup
29:16by Cunningham.
29:19Paul Reed
29:20always ready to
29:21go, Cassidy.
29:24Absolutely.
29:24I mean, actually,
29:25his nickname,
29:26B-ball Paul,
29:27that's where it
29:27comes from.
29:29just being around
29:30the gym, always
29:32around the ball,
29:33always playing,
29:34and it's stuck.
29:34And he told me his
29:35mindset right now
29:36is simple.
29:36I just got to keep
29:37showing everybody,
29:38including myself,
29:39that I can come in,
29:40be consistent, play
29:41the right way, and
29:42help my team win.
29:43And when I ask him
29:44what he has to prove
29:45to himself, he says,
29:46six years into this
29:47league, I understand
29:48the mistakes I made,
29:49and I can't make
29:50them again.
29:50Oh, gee,
29:51Ananobi!
29:53The defensive play,
29:54and then the leak
29:55out for the bucket.
29:58He's got two blocks
29:59tonight in the first
30:00half.
30:00Oh, and Nick's
30:01turning the tables
30:02a little bit on
30:03Detroit there,
30:04getting offense
30:05off of their defense.
30:07Cunningham one-on-one
30:08with Bridges playing
30:09with the two fouls,
30:10Cunningham the spin,
30:11the lean, the follow,
30:13no, right through
30:14the hands of Reed.
30:15Green is going to
30:16hoist, air ball,
30:18and a shot clock
30:19violation.
30:24Well, this is what
30:24they need right here.
30:25OG gets his second
30:26block of the game,
30:27but, you know,
30:28offensive defense
30:28is the best.
30:29When you're trying
30:30to get out,
30:31you're trying to get
30:31some points,
30:32to be able to get
30:32an easy one like
30:33that from the defense
30:33feels good.
30:34That's a great dish
30:35by Cade Cunningham
30:37to set up Paul Reed.
30:40The Knicks have 22
30:41points in the paint,
30:42the Pistons have 16.
30:44It's 8-3 in fast
30:45break points in favor
30:47of New York.
30:47Alvarado,
30:48they got blocked
30:49by Levert.
30:50It's a run-out.
30:51Holland find Levert
30:53in the corner,
30:54Alvarado flies by,
30:55and Levert
30:56can't make him pay.
30:58Coach,
30:58did Paul Reed
30:59remind you of UD
31:00a little bit?
31:00A little bit.
31:01A little bit.
31:02With the energy,
31:03the rebounding.
31:04The activity.
31:05That's what I love.
31:05Oh, a dunk wedgie!
31:07It doesn't happen
31:08very often.
31:12OG Ananobi.
31:14I would say this,
31:15though,
31:15on that comparison,
31:16Dwayne.
31:17UD, listen to this.
31:19UD was a much better
31:20shooter than Paul Reed.
31:21Yes.
31:22UD was a very good
31:24mid-range shooter.
31:262 out of 15 feet.
31:27He plant that foot.
31:28It's cash.
31:29Absolutely.
31:29Paul Reed doesn't have that,
31:31but Paul Reed,
31:31great on the glass,
31:33great roller.
31:34I mean,
31:35he started the other night
31:36with those guys out.
31:37A big road win
31:38at Toronto,
31:40you know,
31:40and was fantastic.
31:4222 points,
31:435 rebounds,
31:444 blocked shots,
31:45and 3 steals
31:47in that win up there.
31:49And they were
31:50plus 21
31:51on the road
31:52against a playoff team
31:54with Paul Reed
31:55in there.
31:57You get a jump ball
31:59after
32:00the wedgie.
32:03and Reed
32:04and Towns
32:04will do the honors.
32:07There is more pushing
32:08and shoving here
32:09on a jump ball
32:11than it is
32:12on a rebound block out.
32:15Towns steps away.
32:16Shamit
32:17guides it to himself
32:19and the Knicks controlling.
32:20They got to get
32:20Towns involved in this
32:22in a half court.
32:24Towns has one
32:25field goal attempt.
32:27He only had
32:27four field goal attempts
32:28the first time they played.
32:30There we go.
32:31Looking for him.
32:33Defense there
32:34by Green.
32:34Poke away
32:35and it's out of bounds
32:36with 7 to shoot.
32:38I tell you what,
32:39this Detroit team
32:39is so physical.
32:41You're gonna get hit.
32:43I mean,
32:44Javante Green
32:44just bellied up to him.
32:47Carl Anthony Towns
32:48got to play stronger
32:49than that
32:49against the guy
32:51that much smaller.
32:52J.B. Bickerstaff
32:53sends Green
32:53and Reed
32:54to the bench
32:55and Smith
32:56checks back in
32:57with Harris.
32:59J.B. Bickerstaff
33:00talked in our meeting
33:01coach about
33:02him watching them
33:03play early on
33:04in the open gym
33:05how physical
33:06the team was
33:06versus each other
33:07and how to channel
33:08that into opponents.
33:09The miss by Alvarado
33:11Cunningham
33:12attack mode
33:13stripped the ball
33:14by Schammett
33:14Cunningham recovers
33:15had it blocked
33:16on the inside
33:17Bridges was draped
33:18all over him

33:22Bridges on a fade
33:23too strong
33:24Towns
33:25offensive rebound
33:39Towns
33:39Pistons team
33:40it's Smith
33:41called for the foul
33:42Towns was grabbing
33:43at that right eye
33:45that's the eye
33:45he had an issue
33:47with that made
33:48him miss
33:48the last meeting
33:49between these two teams
33:50two weeks ago
33:51and this is going
33:52to be challenged
33:53by J.B. Bickerstaff
33:55a coach's challenge
33:56on a foul called
33:58against Detroit
33:58big man
33:59Toluse Smith
34:01step aside
34:02against Carl Anthony Towns
34:06good call
34:07by the officials
34:09cleared him out
34:10with that elbow
34:11Toluse Smith
34:12standing straight up
34:14no foul
34:14Tobias Harris
34:15gets it clean
34:17excellent call
34:18great challenge
34:19by J.B. Bickerstaff
34:20and his staff
34:22I think
34:23I think Cat
34:23is going to have
34:24to understand
34:25especially in this matchup
34:26they're going to be
34:27extra physical on him
34:29because they see
34:30that it affects him
34:31it affects his play
34:32it affects his
34:33mannerisms
34:34and so
34:34they're going to be
34:35extra physical
34:36so he's going to have
34:36to put the hard head on
34:37and I'm Timberland
34:38and let's go out here
34:39and go to work
34:40Alvarado with the quick hands
34:41he jars it loose
34:42out of bounds
34:43Pistons have missed
34:44their last six shots
34:46and they have eight seconds
34:47to work with here
34:5034-32 Detroit
34:53just over eight minutes
34:54to play first half
34:55Cunningham
34:56gets a clean look
34:56put it on the board
34:58that's great execution
34:59on the out of bounds
35:00play
35:01came off the back screen
35:02then as they inbounded
35:03came off the pin down
35:05just balanced up
35:06and knocked it in
35:07got 16 points
35:08on six of 16
35:10from the field
35:10yeah well he's only
35:12three for eleven
35:13from two
35:15Towns no
35:16grabbed by Robinson
35:17he's fouled
35:18so Robinson is going
35:19back to the free throw line
35:21will attempt free throws
35:22number five and six
35:24tonight
35:24this is great
35:25design and great execution
35:27little back screen here
35:29by Harris
35:30gets the inbound
35:31and then a good pin down
35:32from Toluse Smith
35:33and just balances up
35:35and knocks it in
35:36yeah it's really hard
35:37to trail that
35:38I mean I would want
35:39I would have wanted
35:40the big to open up
35:41a little bit more
35:41allow for the guard
35:42to shoot the gap
35:44knowing that you got
35:44backside help
35:45so you can gamble
35:46a little bit
35:47and shoot the gap
35:47you're trailing that
35:48it's tough with a big guard
35:50that can come off
35:50and shoot that
35:52Pistons lead by four
35:55Cunningham is the only
35:56player in double figures
35:58so far tonight
35:58Brunson leads the Knicks
36:00with nine
36:01Cade has also taken
36:02half of Detroit shots
36:06Pistons are 13 of 32
36:08as Robinson goes one out of
36:10two Brunson remains on the
36:11bench
36:12that one looked good
36:13that one did look pretty
36:14good
36:15I mean it still goes fast
36:16though
36:16man that's got to be close
36:17to 90 miles an hour
36:22Levert misses from the
36:23outside
36:24and it's rebounded
36:26by Shammott
36:27well Alvarado just
36:28he just competes
36:29he competed on that
36:30play right there
36:31you know obviously
36:32it's a mid shot
36:32but he competed on that
36:34that's what makes him
36:35tough
36:35he brings his toughness
36:36his intensity
36:37to every possession
36:39on both ends of the
36:39floor
36:40Shammott
36:40wild attempt
36:42and there is a foul
36:43call
36:44on Holland
36:45well and those are
36:46the kind of fouls
36:47that J.B. Bickerstapp
36:48wants to eliminate
36:49he knows they're going to
36:50pick up some fouls
36:52they give up the most
36:52free throws in the league
36:54because they are so
36:56physical
36:56but he wants to get away
36:58from the cheap ones
36:59here
37:00Holland has to be a little
37:02bit more disciplined

38:02Robinson
38:02they send a second
38:03body to Harris
38:04he gives up his dribble
38:05inside
38:06Thompson just
38:07hanging out
38:07underneath
38:08and he flushes it down
38:10that's a great pass
38:11by Tobias Harris
38:12definitely
38:13Alvarado
38:14leave it for Bridges
38:15back Alvarado
38:16it's off
38:17short
38:18and the rebound
38:19controlled by Harris
38:21hand-to-hand
38:22combat down there
38:23with Toluse Smith
38:24and Mitchell Robinson
38:25early offense
38:26Alvarado goes down
38:28and then
38:28domino effect
38:30Cunningham goes down
38:31yeah just keeping
38:33his eyes up
38:33that's a great
38:35screen by Toluse
38:36Smith too
38:37didn't notice that
38:38at first
38:39to open up
38:39the back side
38:40well I think
38:41Tobias understanding
38:42he had a smaller
38:42guy on him
38:43so normally
38:44that means a double
38:45team possibly
38:45going to come
38:46so he did a great
38:46job of just
38:47keeping his eyes
38:48up scanning the
38:48floor
38:49and he got
38:49opportunity to hit
38:50Thompson for a nice
38:51two
38:51foul is called
38:52on Alvarado
38:54Jenkins is back
38:56in for Detroit
38:57he replaces
38:57Cunningham
38:58Brunson returns
39:00for New York
39:01well we've got
39:02the undrafted
39:04guard match up
39:05now
39:05oh
39:06Harris
39:07ducks in
39:09big finish
39:10and the foul
39:15I'm a little
39:15biased
39:16I know that
39:17because I coach
39:18the guy
39:18and he's one
39:19one of the great
39:19pros in the game
39:20but Tobias Harris
39:22is an underrated
39:23part of this
39:24Detroit team
39:24we talk about
39:25Cade Cunningham
39:26and Dewey
39:26and Durant
39:27and Stewart
39:28you know
39:29and then Duncan
39:30Robinson
39:31and Asar Thompson's
39:32defense
39:32this guy's just
39:34solid and steady
39:35every night
39:36what is J.B.
39:37Bickerstaff calling
39:38Cassidy
39:40security blanket
39:42just because
39:43you know
39:43he's always steady
39:44and he's always
39:45reliable
39:45and he's always there
39:46and J.B.
39:48Bickerstaff has talked
39:48about the veteran
39:49presence that he
39:50provides in the
39:51locker room
39:52that the young guys
39:53can go to him
39:53about anything
39:55life
39:56about business
39:57opportunities
39:58about being in the
40:00league
40:00for as long
40:01as he has
40:02drop it inside
40:03Robinson leans in
40:04and gets the role
40:05well that's important
40:06now
40:07you just said
40:07the business
40:08opportunities
40:09a lot of guys
40:10have a lot of money
40:11and you don't trust
40:12a lot of people
40:12and you don't know
40:13what to do with it
40:14and you got a guy
40:15on your team
40:15that is very good
40:17at business
40:17and to sit down
40:18and help walk you
40:19through things
40:19that right there
40:20is priceless
40:22off to Mark Harris
40:23but the clean up
40:24for Smith
40:26it's Tolu
40:27on the interior
40:31Smith
40:32originally from
40:33Bay St. Louis
40:34Mississippi
40:34moved to Hawaii
40:36before his junior
40:37year of high school
40:38Brunson the pull up
40:39pop
40:40won't count
40:43no basket
40:44for New York
40:46well now he's counting
40:47it
40:50he was going to call
40:51three second defense
40:52but now he's counting
40:53the basket
40:54Tyler Ricks
40:55so Tyler Ricks
40:57stopped the play
41:01and Brunson
41:04will he or will he
41:05not get credit
41:06J.B. DeRosa
41:07is explaining it
41:08to him right now
41:08and they will count it
41:10no defensive
41:11three seconds
41:12so Brunson
41:13gets the bucket
41:15but the Knicks
41:16do not get the free throw
41:17there you go right there
41:18turn over
41:19Hart

41:50Levert

41:51Shemit
41:54Thompson
41:55trying to give it up
41:56with eight to shoot
41:56no spacing
41:59Thompson sizing up
42:00Shemit
42:00helped by Robinson
42:02shot clock winding down
42:03open look for Harris
42:07great pass
42:08once again
42:09understanding the floor
42:10understanding the balance
42:11of the floor
42:12knowing where your teammates
42:13are head up
42:14even when you're in an attack
42:15is important
42:16by the way coach
42:17Toland is the fourth big
42:20on this team
42:20they got some good bigs
42:22over here
42:22you are kidding
42:23J.D. Bickerstep
42:24said he had confidence
42:25and he thought the matchup
42:26with he and Mitchell
42:27Robinson
42:28would be a good one
42:29no miss by Shemit
42:31return feed Alvarado
42:32rims out
42:34and the Knicks
42:35having major issues
42:37from three-point range
42:37they are one
42:38of 14
42:40from downtown
42:41well they've only shot
42:4233%
42:43in the two games
42:44against Detroit
42:45coming in
42:46and this is a team
42:47that on the year
42:48is third in the league
42:49in three-point percentage
42:51but just haven't been able
42:53to get it going
42:53against the Pistons
42:54at all
42:55they are shooting
42:5529% overall
42:57in the second quarter
42:58it's Robinson
42:59is back in
43:00for the Pistons
43:01and now Carl Anthony Towns
43:02Mikel Bridges
43:03OG Ananove return
43:07well I don't think
43:08that's by mistake
43:09I mean when you look
43:09at this Detroit Pistons
43:10team
43:11their closeouts
43:13is to the chest
43:14this is old school
43:16basketball
43:16when you look at this team
43:17they're not watching
43:18and flying by
43:19they're actually getting
43:20to the shooters
43:21and it's making them
43:21rest their shot
43:22a little bit
43:23Robinson swing
43:24Harris lets it fly
43:25can't hit for three
43:27and the rebound
43:28is vacuumed in
43:30by Towns
43:31well Towns
43:32has not had a great
43:33offensive year
43:34by his standards
43:35but he has rebounded
43:37the ball extremely well
43:41so the Pistons
43:43playing without
43:43Jalen Duren
43:44playing without
43:45Isaiah Stewart
43:46Stewart a seven game
43:48suspension
43:48Duren is wrapping up
43:49his two game suspension
43:51all emanating from
43:52the fight
43:54between the Pistons
43:55and the Charlotte Hornets
43:57on February 9th
43:58and the fact that Detroit
43:59is doing major work
44:01tonight with their third
44:03and fourth string centers
44:05you don't see a drop off
44:06in physicality
44:07you don't see a drop off
44:08in intensity
44:09when it comes to their
44:10third and their fourth
44:11big and so that shows you
44:13how deep this team is
44:14and why a lot of people
44:15think they have an opportunity
44:16to win a championship
44:17Smith just picked up
44:19his third foul
44:19and I'll give Trajan
44:20Langdon a lot of credit
44:22the general manager
44:23president
44:24whatever he is
44:25of the Pistons
44:26he is a great
44:27talent evaluator
44:29and he understands
44:31the importance
44:32of building out
44:33your entire roster
44:34because with injuries
44:36and things
44:37even your top ten
44:38is not enough
44:39on the break
44:40Brunson using
44:42the heart screen
44:43turnover by Detroit
44:44the Knicks have cut it
44:45to four
44:46back in on Jenkins
44:48Brunson
44:49swing
44:49Ananobi
44:50hard drive
44:51and it's
44:52a foul on Reed
44:58so he initially
45:01went straight up
45:02had great verticality
45:03I think
45:04what JB DeRosa is saying
45:06is he came down
45:07with his hands
45:08and got him on the arm
45:09I love that OG
45:10went to the chest
45:11you know
45:11sometime
45:12when you go to the basket
45:14and you go against big
45:14sometime you gotta go
45:15right at that chest
45:16and then he did that
45:18on that time
45:21initially the foul
45:22was called on Reed
45:23they changed it to
45:24Thompson
45:25coming up
45:25next
45:26the half
45:27presented by
45:28AT&T
45:29Taylor Rooks
45:30Blake Griffin
45:31Udonis Aslam
45:32and Rudy Gay
45:32oh it's off the mark
45:33for Blake
45:35he wanted a foul call
45:36he got nothing
45:37Blake's breathing hard
45:38he was breathing
45:39like I was
45:40walking up that ramp
45:41today
45:42coming into the arena
45:43at the garden
45:44oh man
45:45I was like
45:46I'm out of shape
45:47I walked in the room
45:48I was sweating
45:48everybody thinks
45:50that's not that bad
45:51and then you get to the top
45:52of the ramp
45:52at MST
45:53oh no
45:54that was
45:54that was deceptively
45:55challenging
45:5845-42
45:59I sprayed it up myself
46:01yeah yeah
46:01Stan didn't even
46:02break a sweat
46:03Cunningham
46:04lays it in
46:05that was too easy
46:06for Cade Cunningham
46:08it was
46:09very much too easy
46:10on the pick and roll
46:12our guys in the studio
46:13talked a lot about
46:14Pat's kick and roll
46:15defense
46:16and what he needed to do
46:17he didn't do any of it
46:18right there
46:1918 now
46:20for Cunningham
46:2247-42 Detroit
46:23yeah you either
46:24stopping the ball
46:25or you protected the rim
46:26yeah you can't do neither
46:28Hart navigates his way
46:29for the bucket
46:35three point game
46:36two and a half remaining
46:37second quarter
46:38Brunson
46:39extends out on Cunningham
46:42Reed was trying to set the screen
46:44Cunningham clears him out
46:45rises up
46:46and it goes down
46:48and it goes down
46:49Cade Cunningham
46:49has poured in 20
46:51in the first half
46:52look and he just
46:54can get to that spot
46:55and go over the top
46:56of somebody like
46:57Brunson
46:57Brunson
46:58can't answer
47:00rebound
47:02the throw down
47:05the throw down
47:05his first bucket of the night
47:07now has six points
47:08in 35 minutes

47:17OG Ananobi
47:17had the assignment
47:22well coach
47:23one of the
47:23one of the players
47:24that I say Cunningham
47:25kind of reminds me of
47:26is Brandon Roy
47:28just two big guards
47:29that play with pace
47:30and poise
47:30and get to any shot
47:31they want
47:3349
47:34the Knicks
47:3546
47:35time right now
47:36to take a look
47:37at leading the way
47:38presented
47:38by United
47:40Cade Cunningham
47:41certainly leading the way
47:42for the Pistons
47:43scoring
47:44dishing
47:45you name it
47:46he's providing it
47:48tonight
47:49for Detroit
47:50and
47:51the numbers
47:52he's put up
47:53against the New York Knicks
47:57Cunningham
47:57he puts up
47:59good numbers
47:59against
48:00basically everybody
48:01but
48:01they're especially good
48:04against the Knicks
48:05in this butting rivalry
48:06let's get more right now
48:07from
48:08Cassidy
48:08yeah I and I spoke
48:10with Cade this morning
48:11and he told me
48:12he expected a playoff
48:13atmosphere here tonight
48:14he says he loves
48:16playing here at the Garden
48:17and said even when
48:18the crowd's against him
48:19he embraces it
48:20his words
48:20I love when the lights
48:22are bright
48:22and there are no
48:23brighter lights
48:24than here
48:25D how much did you love
48:26playing under these lights
48:27yeah Cass
48:28this was number one
48:29for me
48:29it's nothing like
48:30walking into that arena
48:31we joked about that ramp
48:32but when you get off
48:33that bus
48:34and you walk up that ramp
48:35it feels different
48:36the energy in the building
48:37feels different
48:38and you know
48:38that so many people
48:40have performed
48:41on this stage
48:42called Madison Square Garden
48:43and so you want to be
48:44a part of those performances
48:46and Cunningham
48:47in particular
48:48just look at the numbers
48:49Tracy Morgan's making
48:50a phone call
48:51he is on pace
48:53for his second straight
48:5420.5 rebound
48:56nine assist season
48:58to do it consistently
49:00it was not an aberration
49:02by any stretch
49:03back to back all-star
49:04appearances
49:05and one of the best
49:05lead guards
49:06in the league
49:07he's got 22 points
49:09here in the first half
49:11Trunton's got 11
49:13to lead New York
49:14and a turnover
49:15Reed on the move
49:17Thompson lob it up
49:18Harris couldn't finish it
49:22ball got knocked away
49:23but Bridges controls
49:24it ahead for Ananobi
49:26Tobias should have
49:27tried to get the second
49:28hand on the ball there
49:31Brunson
49:33and he draws the foul
49:34the teardrop was short
49:36but he is going
49:36to the free throw line
49:41this is great defense
49:42stays down on the shot fake
49:44and then forces a turnover
49:47over Brunson's third of the
49:48night
49:51and something that J.B.
49:52Biggerstep talked about
49:53in regards to Paul Reed
49:55his anticipation on
49:56defense his quick hands
49:58that he'll come up with
49:59steals that they did not
50:00anticipate just because
50:02him understanding angles
50:04and then making the right
50:06play
50:06he also was blown away
50:08by his workout routine
50:09and conditioning
50:10in games that he may not
50:12even see a minute
50:13of action
50:14and J.B.
50:15says to him
50:15hey don't you want to be
50:17ready tonight
50:17he's like no this is how
50:18I get ready
50:19yeah stay ready
50:20so you don't have to get
50:21ready
50:22Thompson
50:23his
50:24I really love his
50:26discipline
50:26and for a young guy
50:28that is
50:29it's hard to come by
50:30and so that
50:31he has a special quality
50:32in that
50:33but regarding the all-star
50:34guard like Brunson
50:35it's hard to stay
50:35disciplined
50:36and he stayed down on that
50:37and just made Brunson
50:38make the mistake
50:4051
50:4048
50:41Pistons
50:42Cunningham
50:43the fade away
50:44is pure
50:45I don't see you
50:47he don't see the defense
50:48well they're getting this
50:50he's got the switch
50:51with Brunson
50:52hard
50:53the cut
50:54and then intercepted
50:55by Thompson
50:56steps in front of Brunson
50:58Cunningham
50:59the shift he moves
51:00corner
51:01Robinson
51:02put it on the board
51:03for three
51:04well look
51:05second half adjustment
51:07for me
51:07New York
51:08you've got to get
51:10Carl Anthony Towns
51:11near the basket
51:12and he's got to come alive
51:13offensively
51:14they're not winning
51:16if Carl Anthony Towns
51:18is not involved
51:19on the offensive end
51:20of the floor
51:20Brunson
51:21off the heel
51:22six second difference
51:23shot clock to game clock
51:24they can bring this lead
51:25to double figures
51:27and they will
51:28Thompson
51:28underneath
51:29and this has been
51:31a Pistons barrage
51:32at the end of the
51:33second quarter
51:34well that's
51:35Tobias Harris's
51:36fourth assist
51:36tight for the team lead
51:38and he's their leader
51:39with rebounds
51:40with five
51:41and has nine points
51:42Detroit 58
51:44the Knicks 48
51:46the shot clock
51:46and game clock
51:47lined up
51:48they blitz Brunson
51:49releasing
51:50Adanobi
51:52Bridges
51:53can't hit the three
51:55and Robinson
51:56too late
51:57but a 7-0 run
51:59to end the first half
52:01for the Detroit Pistons
52:04under manned
52:05but still aggressive
52:07and playing their style
52:09already 2-0 this season
52:11against the Knicks
52:14halftime
52:14you're watching the NBA
52:15on Prime
52:16presented by
52:17Wingstop
52:17Taylor Rooks
52:40this is what you want
52:46your star player to do
52:47when you have guys out
52:48no shadow boxing
52:48set the tone
52:49get to your spots
52:50early and often
52:51and that opens things up
52:52for other guys
52:53offensively
52:54because he set the tone
52:55offensively right here
52:55this is a mismatch
52:56with Cat
52:57we can go downhill
52:58we can step back
52:59and get the three
52:59we don't go downhill
53:00we step back
53:01and get the three right here
53:02pass up the shot
53:03once again
53:04three point shot
53:05he's shooting the ball
53:05great right now
53:06from three point
53:07he's starting to get it going
53:08inside the paint
53:09late in the second quarter
53:10getting downhill once again
53:11making the play to my guy
53:12Paul Reed
53:12who's a guy who's
53:13always stay ready
53:13so he doesn't have to get ready
53:15he's been in a situation
53:16before in Philadelphia
53:17with Joel Embiid being out
53:18so he understands
53:18how to be ready
53:19Cade once again
53:20getting downhill
53:21this opened things up
53:22for guys like Tobias Harris
53:23who has nine points
53:24in the first half
53:25five rebounds
53:25shout out to Tobias Harris
53:26he only averaged
53:27five rebounds for the season
53:28he's got five rebounds
53:29in the first half
53:30obviously other guys
53:31are getting involved
53:31because Cade has set
53:33that tone early
53:33Paul Reed
53:34I think he's going to
53:35continue to be a force
53:36in this game
53:37because of his energy
53:37and his effort
53:38on both ends
53:39of the basketball court
53:39yeah Cade Cunningham's
53:4111th 20 point half
53:42of the season
53:43playing a great game so far
53:44we got to talk about
53:45Carl Anthony Towns though
53:46we know what he is capable of
53:48we have talked about it
53:49all night
53:50what are you seeing
53:51or not seeing from him
53:52in that first half
53:53you know defense
53:54is about habits
53:56it's about showing up early
53:58not scrambling late
53:59and it feels like
54:00so many plays
54:01we talked about it at length
54:03in the pregame show
54:03so many plays
54:04from Carl Anthony Towns
54:06it just seems like
54:07he's just a step behind
54:08right
54:09just not really recognizing
54:10the play that's developing
54:12not seeing that Cade
54:13is ducking in here
54:13it goes to the ball
54:14even right here
54:15you kind of have Cade
54:15get both hands up
54:16and make him finish
54:17over the top
54:18not just around one hand
54:19this is a tough play
54:21right
54:21like you have to
54:22first sprint back
54:23you know Tobias Harris
54:25is going to try
54:25to go downhill
54:26I don't know if there's
54:27a miscommunication here
54:28but then have the
54:29discipline to get downhill
54:30use your length
54:31without fouling
54:32and listen
54:33like I said
54:34we talked about it
54:35already
54:35and this isn't about
54:37ragging on Carl Anthony Towns
54:38because he's a great player
54:39he has the tools
54:40but the NBA
54:43is better
54:43when the Knicks
54:44are contending
54:45for a championship
54:46and they cannot
54:47win a championship
54:48with that type
54:49of defensive effort
54:50and I'm hard on him
54:51because his ceiling
54:52is high
54:52when he's engaged
54:54and he's talking
54:54and he's down
54:55he has all the tools
54:56he can do it
54:57it's just about
54:59setting yourself up
55:00for success
55:00because
55:01the
55:03all this is just
55:04potential
55:08I don't know
55:09what to say here
55:10we believe
55:11I don't want
55:13to rag on Cat
55:14because I love
55:15watching him play
55:16when he's locked in
55:17but
55:18all this right now
55:18is just potential
55:19and potential
55:20gets you hunted
55:20in the playoffs
55:21yes
55:21yes
55:22yeah I mean
55:23on the other end
55:23you have defense
55:24we talk about
55:25you have defense
55:25you have defense
