6 Detroit Pistons in Game 6 to advance to the second round by winning on a 3-point dagger from Jalen Brunson, the Clutch Player of the Year. As the East playoffs continue, here's what matters most and what to watch with the second round looming. The Knicks raced to a 14-point advantage in the first half before watching the Pistons overtake them at the break. Indiana eliminated Milwaukee for the second consecutive season and the Pacers are 8-3 against the Bucks in the playoffs during that span. If the Pacers can pull off an upset, they could return to the Eastern Conference finals for the second straight season.
