Knicks incredulous after clock mix-up in final second: ‘What did you expect?’
NY Post
DETROIT — With 0.5 seconds left and the Knicks leading by two, Jalen Brunson intentionally missed his second free throw.
Due to a mistake by the timekeeper, it nearly let the Pistons get off a potential game-winning shot.
The clock started as soon as the ball hit the rim, instead of when a player touched it. By rule, an inadvertent whistle gives possession to the team who grabbed the rebound. Detroit wound up getting a free timeout out of the error.
However, the Pistons threw the ball away, and the Knicks survived with a 118-116 Game 3 victory to take a 2-1 lead in the opening-round series.
“We’re in Detroit, bro. What did you expect?” Josh Hart said. “They had the home-court advantage. That’s example A of home-court advantage.
“He missed it on purpose. I guess that’s the reason why you go ahead and make it, because they’re going to give them a shot.”
