In Game 1 of the playoffs, although Miles McBride did not score, his contributions were crucial for the Knicks, enabling a faster-paced game against the Pistons. Coach Tom Thibodeau noted that pairing McBride with Jalen Brunson leveraged their skills to counter the Pistons' speed. This strategy was essential in what could be a mismatch for the Knicks, given the Pistons' higher pace. McBride's versatility on both ends of the floor is emphasized by teammates, showing his significant role in the Knicks' postseason strategy.
The things [McBride] is able to do on both sides of the ball is fantastic. I think we play very well off each other.
When we had the two point guards on the floor together, we got to play off that, and when we get our defense going and we're playing fast, there's advantages to that.
