The New York Knicks won their first third quarter of their first round series against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night. Using that 37-24 third quarter advantage and a big-time performance from Jalen Brunson, the Knicks won Game 6 and the series to set up a second round matchup with the Boston Celtics.
Coming out of halftime strong was one of the Knicks' biggest issues throughout the series. So much so that Mikal Bridges suggested the team should try doing layup lines ahead of the third quarter to get everyone moving. Well, they attempted it on Thursday and it seemed to work.
