00:00And you look at number three game in Detroit,

00:03minus one and a half point favorite for the Knicks,

00:05which actually opens, Joe,

00:06as a slight favorite towards the Detroit Pistons.

00:08Final score, 118-116.

00:11The Knicks go on the road and take care of business

00:13at Little Caesars Arena to take the two-to-one series lead.

00:17Yeah, and right in front of our eyes, Donnie,

00:20we're seeing a pretty big rivalry emerge here.

00:25These two teams do not like one another in any way, shape, or form.

00:31We've had technicals, we've had shoving, we've had pushing,

00:34we've had everything.

00:35But what we did have, I think, was interesting is

00:39Fibs made some adjustments from game two, from game one to game two,

00:45and now to game three here.

00:48Obviously, they won game one with an unbelievable comeback

00:51in the fourth quarter.

00:52Detroit made a couple adjustments, took game two,

00:55and then the Knicks decided, well, it just can't be Jalen Brunson.

00:59We live or die with Jalen Brunson.

01:01They got Carl Anthony Towns way more involved,

01:0411 of his 31 in the first quarter,

01:07and 12 of his 30 for Jalen Brunson in the fourth quarter.

01:11That is a recipe for success for this Knicks team.

01:15It doesn't have a ton of depth,

01:17but they have guys that have been there and done this

01:19and know how to win.

01:21I still think this is going seven, as crazy as it is.

01:24I think they're going to zigzag their way to seven games here, Donnie.

01:27These teams are closer, and the thing that most expect,

01:31and I think the thing that is separating right now,

01:33is experience and the adjustments being made.

01:38Vickerstad didn't do a great job of adjustments with the Cavaliers,

01:42which is why he's no longer the coach.

01:43Let's not forget as well, Donnie.
