Knicks see off Pistons to set up Celtics semi-final

The New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons 4-2 in the series opener, which included a game-winning three-pointer.

With only 4.3 seconds left in the game six, the 28-year-old, who was last week named the Clutch Player of the Year, found the bucket and won 116-113.

In the Eastern Conference semifinal play-offs, the Knicks will face Boston Celtics, who have won the 18-time championship before and who is defending champion.

“I rely on the trust and self-assurance that my team-mates give me,” Brunson said.

Without them, nothing would happen.

The Los Angeles Clippers won game seven of their play-off game against the Denver Nuggets by 111-105 in Inglewood, California, with the help of James Harden.

The Clippers struggled against a strong performance from Nikola Jokic, who finished with 25 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds for Denver. In order to maintain their play-off hopes, the Clippers needed to win in game six.

The Clippers’ first NBA Championship goal, however, came from Harden, who added eight assists and six rebounds.

According to Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, James did a great job of setting the scene early, scoring the ball, going downhill, and making the right play.

Kawhi Leonard was steady throughout the game, and Norman Powell made some important shots at the end. I believed those guys actually rose up and prepared to play.
