00:00New York and Detroit have played a very entertaining series.

00:03The Knicks are up 3-1.

00:05I mean, this could easily be 2-2.

00:06The Pistons could be up in this series.

00:08That's how close the game's been.

00:10Jalen Brunson has been fantastic in the fourth quarter.

00:1315 points in game four, 12 in game three, 14 in game two.

00:17He's been their closer.

00:19And they're going to need him again,

00:20although I don't know if they can cover a spread here, folks.

00:22I mean, Gilbert, they just keep playing close games,

00:24but the odds makers tell us they're going to close it out.

00:27Knicks are six-point favorites tomorrow night.

00:31I mean, certainly I could see them winning,

00:33but my gosh, the disrespect to Detroit after the way that they've played.

00:37Yeah, first off, Jalen Brunson is showing exactly why he won

00:41that Clutch Player of the Year award,

00:43what he does when the moment gets bigger and the lights get brighter.

00:46He almost seems like it makes him play better,

00:48where a lot of players, that pressure becomes too much for them.

00:51I actually like the Pistons at least keeping it close tomorrow.

00:53I don't know if they'll win outright, but as you said,

00:56they were up big in game one before that Knicks 21-0 run.

01:00Yesterday, the controversial no-call at the end of the game

01:03could have swung the game, could have swung the series.

01:06And I think that this Pistons team is at least motivated.

01:08They have a sense of pride.

01:09This is the team who tripled their win total

01:11and then some from last season.

01:13They're not going to go out sad.

01:15I think that this is a team that's going to play with a lot of pride

01:17to at least keep it within six points.

01:19Will they win? Not sure.

01:20But I think that they'll hang around.

01:21It'll be another close game because it's been a lot of tests

01:24for the Knicks throughout this first round.
