I don't understand why Cade did not take the last shot. Yes, he was being guarded, and Beasley had an opening, but he is the man, and the man always takes the last shot. The man carries his team on his shoulders, always take the last shot, and lives by the consequences whether his shot goes in or misses.
Amazing shot by Brunson though. Undoubtedly clutch player of the year.
Cade was cold from deep. I think he was like 1-11 Or something terrible. He made the right play. Beasley was hot and had a wide open look which was the last guy New York should have left open.

They were both going to miss, either way. They needed to take this playoff lump to come back stronger next year.

Hahaha I was nervous. But the fact New York doesn’t have a quality back up PG like Dennis is really hurting them. McBride was terrible and Payne is marginal at best.
Dennis was really good. He was the reason they won game two hitting that three late solid on D. I think if the Knicks had him we would have a legitimate chance to beat Boston.
I bring this up because this series wouldn’t have been close if Knicks had any sort of a bench. They get next to nothing when KAT and Brunson are out. Brunson’s efficiency was terrible last night but when you are clutch people seem to forget that the Knicks should have won this game by 10 and this series in 5 games.

Their best chance against Boston is just getting super physical and hoping Boston breaks down before they do. Both teams are pretty banged up already, but the Knicks are probably a bit physically tougher.
reply
But they got so many players who can score and shoot from three. Detroit was good on defense but they didn’t have enough scoring. Cade showed his age with his inconsistency and Beasley and Hardaway suffer from the same thing as known journeymen. Boston will not have this issue.

They're going to need to make Brown's poor ball-handling the deciding factor, probably.
