Thursday night’s game between the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks came down to the wire, and it gave the reigning NBA Clutch Player of the Year a chance to show why he deserves that title.
With just seconds to go, Jalen Brunson scored a dagger three-pointer that sealed the deal for the Knicks, putting the Pistons away after six games.
Following the game, Mikal Bridges spoke with ESPN about Brunson’s shot and how he knew it was going to happen.
“Doesn’t matter if he’s struggling. Doesn’t matter if he’s hooping. You can never tell,” said Bridges, who co-starred with Brunson in Game 6 with 25 points. “All I thought is: If he can get some separation, once he got separation, I knew it was curtains.”
Brunson was a superstar once again for his Knicks, posting 40 points, four rebounds, and seven assists.
He has been sensational throughout this series, and now the Knicks are hoping to see him keep playing like this as they take on the Boston Celtics in the second round.
The Knicks were desperate not to face a Game 7 because they wanted as much time off their feet as possible.
They know the Celtics will be challenging, and they need each of their stars at 100 percent.
Brunson’s final shot allows them to have a few extra days off, time to plan for their next series.
