The New York Knicks have another chance to close out the first round of the NBA playoffs tonight after failing to punch their ticket to the second round in Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. The road team has won every game but Game 1 so far in this series, and with the Knicks on the road tonight, the trend may continue. Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart both suffered minor injuries in the Game 5 loss and came out of the game with just minutes to go. Both players insist they’re physically okay, just beaten up, and will be ready to play in tonight’s game against an energized Pistons team who will try to force a Game 7.
