Despite having a 3-2 series lead, the New York Knicks have had some slow starts against the Detroit Pistons. Especially in the second half. The good news is that Mikal Bridges has an idea about how to fix those slow starts: layup lines.
It's worth a try. In Game 1 the third quarter was the Knicks lowest scoring quarter of the game. In Game 2 they scored just 18 points in the first and third quarters. In Game 4 they only managed to score 14 in the third. In a Game 5 loss they took a one-point lead into halftime and trailed by nine mid-way through the third.
