The New York Knicks did it in six. They’re headed to the Eastern Conference Semifinals, defeating the Detroit Pistons tonight 116-113, led by Jalen Brunson, who scored 40 points — including a game-winning three-pointer with 4.3 seconds to go.
They now face an even more formidable opponent: the Boston Celtics. The regular-season series between the two teams was as lopsided as it gets — Boston won all four games, with an average margin of 16.25 points.
Boston, the No. 2 seed in the East, also holds home-court advantage in this series.
