The Detroit Pistons are considered a young and inexperienced team heading into their playoff series against the New York Knicks. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff is leaning on veterans like Tobias Harris and Tim Hardaway Jr. for their experience. Harris, in particular, has shown he can step up in crucial moments, scoring 25 points against the Knicks, showcasing his dependable nature. Bickerstaff praises Harris for his trustworthiness and the respect he commands from teammates, emphasizing his selflessness and contribution to team morale despite the Pistons' loss.
"He's just been trustworthy and dependable," Bickerstaff said of Harris before Game 1 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, in which Harris had a huge first half, scoring 22 of his 25 points in the Pistons' 123-112 loss to the Knicks.
"That's all you can ask for from a veteran player," Bickerstaff added. "Our guys know whenever they turn around, Tobias has their back. He's got a personality where he disarms everybody."
