Game 3 of the Pistons vs. Knicks series was a fierce matchup, ending 118-116 in favor of the Knicks. The game featured high tensions, marked by technical fouls and a critical late-game call involving Jalen Brunson. The Pistons criticized the lack of a call when Brunson caught the ball in frontcourt but drifted back, inciting frustration from players and fans alike. Crew chief Zach Zarba justified the call, stating Brunson had not established his position in the frontcourt, a decision that left the Pistons questioning the officiating rules and consistency.
He catches the ball in the frontcourt, recognizes that he's getting ready to go into the backcourt, then drops the ball. There are some things procedurally that I have questions about, and I'd be interested to hear some answers.
Brunson and the trajectory of the pass were headed toward the backcourt. Brunson's momentum was taking him there when he touches the ball.
