Through the first week of the NBA playoffs, one thing that has stood out is the lack of ball movement from the New York Knicks in their series with the Detroit Pistons. Speaking to ESPN's Tim Bontemps, one scout for a Western Conference team thinks that Jalen Brunson's style of play has "caught up" with the Knicks in the playoffs:

Svyato is an NBA writer at Athlon Sports, covering the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, and Oklahoma City Thunder. His love for basketball is only rivaled by his love of Funko Pops.

Jalen Brunson became the first New York Knicks player since Bernard King in 1984 to open a playoff series with three consecutive 30-point games, leading the Knicks to a 118–116 victory over the Detroit Pistons in Game 3 of their first-round series Thursday night.
