Jalen Brunson was the hero in Game 6 as he scored a game-high 40 points – including the eventual game-winner – to lead the New York Knicks to a 116-113 win over the Detroit Pistons to advance to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Knicks have traded off performing well offensively and not. They have scored 94 or fewer points in both playoff games after tallying 100 or more points the game prior. Having put up 103 in Game 5, New York is primed to disappoint. It was just 6-8 ATS as a road underdog as well.

Despite finding themselves on the wrong end of a controversial call that decided Game 4, the Detroit Pistons flushed the thought of being slighted away and placed all of their focus on simply keeping their season alive in Game 5 on the road against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
