The New York Knicks lost a tightly contested Game 2 against the Detroit Pistons with a score of 100-94, thus surrendering home-court advantage. Coach Tom Thibodeau criticized the inconsistencies in officiating, emphasizing the need for fair treatment for both teams. Despite a solid effort by the Knicks, who fought back to tie the game late, they could not secure a win. Thibodeau highlighted the importance of preparation and experience, pointing out that both sides had players who contributed differently to the gameâs dynamics.
Look, I really don't give a crap how they call the game as long as it's consistent on both sides. If Cunningham's driving and there's marginal contact and he's getting to the line, then Jalen [Brunson] deserves to be getting to the line. It's really that simple.
Oftentimes, you look at it and say 'well, he has poise under pressure.' He has confidence and where do those things come from? And then you understand it comes from preparation. Obviously, you have to have great talent.
They have some guys that have experience, and they have young guys, too. And we're in the same boat. We have young guys, and we have some guys who've been through things.
Yeah, same thing [as Game 1]. We made a comeback. We had a good shot at the end.
