00:00the next the opportunity opportunity to clinch this opening round set over detroit booked as a
00:05five and a half point home favorite the pistons had other ideas showing their resolve once again
00:11they have led in the fourth quarter and all three games inside the mecca they lead at the end of the
00:17final buzzer last night 106 103 detroit wins outright as a five and a half point dog to force
00:23a game six tomorrow night back in the motor city jy it was pretty competitive down the stretch
00:30we saw a couple of weird moments for tibbs keeping jalen brunson and josh hart on the sideline
00:36when the pistons were starting to pull away to go up by two possessions how did detroit outlast new
00:43york down the stretch in the fourth quarter one the play at thompson was phenomenal on an offensive
00:50defensive end scoring the ball and obviously his defense on jalen brunson uh was one thing uh number
00:56two jalen during on the rebound even though that he got himself in the foul trouble he did a really good
01:00job of controlling the boards and then we get to tips uh i think it's about you know as a coach
01:07i want people to understand this you wonder why coaches don't want to burn timeouts early we always
01:13had a rule that you want to save two to at least two timeouts down the stretch of the game so now we
01:18have a situation where josh hart and jalen brunson are out of the game because they both got injured
01:24around the same time and now you have one timeout left left so tips sat on it which was probably the
01:32most critical mistake he could have done there's one of three things you do folks okay number one
01:37you call your last time out probably don't want to do it because you want to be able to advance the
01:41ball late in the game so it comes down to option two or option three option two is you do it you just
01:46take a foul you take not a clear path foul you take a foul you stop the clock and then that would
01:52allow uh obviously detroit then to go to the foul line so then it comes to the option they should
01:57have done that i thought someone would no one talked about just have someone step out of bounds
02:02just commit a violation just do something to stop the clock and get your best offensive player and
02:09your mode your your nails and glue guy does everything right in josh hart and get them back in the game
02:14i thought it was a very telling scene i said at master square garden that they didn't consider
02:19option three especially early on you can't have those two guys sitting for that long of a time down
02:25you can't have those two guys sitting for that long of a time down without problems don't you X
