The New York Knicks faced a significant challenge during their playoff matchup against the Detroit Pistons, highlighted by a stark disparity in free throw attempts. Coach Tom Thibodeau expressed frustration over the officiating, particularly regarding his point guard Jalen Brunson receiving fewer calls compared to Pistons star Cade Cunningham. Despite Brunson's and Cunningham's free throw success being similar, Thibodeau emphasized the need for consistency in officiating. The Knicks aimed for physical defense but struggled to balance aggression without drawing fouls, contributing to their eventual 100-94 loss and raising questions about the officiating's impact on the series.
