**DETROIT** – New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson shrugged off hostile chants and boos from Detroit Pistons fans during the Knicks’ Game 3 victory, scoring 30 points despite the heckling. His teammate, Mikal Bridges, suggested the Pistons’ strategy was ineffective, stating that verbal attacks wouldn’t deter Brunson.
Meanwhile, the Pistons face uncertainty regarding the availability of center Isaiah Stewart, who remains day-to-day with a knee injury. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff reported Stewart is improving but couldn’t confirm his participation in Game 4.
On the Knicks’ side, center Mitchell Robinson, who missed Saturday’s practice due to illness, is expected to play in Game 4, according to coach Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau also noted a significant increase in playing time for his starting lineup in Game 3, emphasizing the importance of finding the right on-court combinations for optimal team performance.
