00:00Saturday night, inside the world's most famous arena, inside Madison Square Garden.
00:05The Knicks win by double digits, but that not the true story.
00:08New York victorious, 123-112, covering is a six and a half or seven point.
00:14Favorite total of 220 and a hook, sky's over.
00:17But Donnie, it was that fourth quarter rally, a 21-zip run for the Knicks.
00:23They trailed by eight, 98-90, with 9-16 remaining.
00:27They went on that 21-0 run over the next four and a half minutes to take a double-digit lead over the Pistons and never look back.
00:37The Knicks win game number one with that dramatic 21-zip run in the fourth quarter by 11 and cover it home.
00:45Another one for the Pistons that you're going to wake up and say, my goodness, that next day, we should have won that basketball game.
00:50And now instead of being up 1-0, we're down 0-1, the Knicks have all that energy from that monster fourth quarter to sort of relay that into game number two.
00:58But understand this, too.
00:59Like, Tobias Harris had 25 points for eight of 13 from the floor, four of five.
01:03Like, you wasted some really good performances.
01:05Malik Beasley off the bench, six of 12 from three-point range.
01:08That was your game.
01:09But also understand this.
01:10From watching Jalen Brunson throughout his career, he knows clutch.
01:13And he knows how to win big basketball games.
01:15And even when the Knicks were so beat up, banged up, and injured, and moving through the playoffs last year, he was that one bright spot, which you knew he would have a high leverage number.
01:2227 shot attempts.
01:23Started slow in this game, but understood, once I get my game going, nobody's going to be able to stop me.
01:2834 total points in this game.
01:30The expectations for me, he should be able to get around 30.
01:32Clear that bar even after the slow start.
01:34Nice win for the Knicks, but that feels like one that got away for a Pistons team that just needs to win a bet.
01:40Like, if they take game number one, like, they're in this series right away.
01:43Like, yes, we're supposed to be here.
01:44We're a good up-and-coming team.
01:45Now we're finally here, and let's go.
01:47And they collapsed so badly in the fourth quarter there in the Garden.
