The Knicks are adamant that Miles McBride\u2019s Game 1 impact goes beyond the boxscore.<\/p>\n
He failed to score in 15 minutes off the bench during their 123-112 win over the Pistons on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, but he found ways to contribute in other areas. <\/p>\n
He added four assists, a rebound and a steal, and he brought an element to the Knicks that is key against a young Pistons team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought the speed of the game really, that was important for us,\u201d coach Tom Thibodeau said after practice Sunday. \u201cWhen we had the two point guards on the floor together, we got to play off that, and when we get our defense going and we\u2019re playing fast, there\u2019s advantages to that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of McBride\u2019s 15 minutes of action, eight came with Jalen Brunson also on the court, per NBA.com\u2019s tracking stats. <\/p>\n
Some of that was prompted by Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart getting into early foul trouble, but Thibodeau could continue to use the two point guard lineup if the Pistons begin to hurt the Knicks in transition.<\/p>\n
The Pistons had the 11th-highest pace (100.27 possessions per 48 minutes) in the regular season and they averaged 18.5 fast break points per game \u2014 second most in the NBA. <\/p>\n

The Knicks, conversely, ranked 26th in pace (97.64 possessions per 48 minutes) and 14th in transition scoring (15.7 fast break points per game).<\/p>\n
It could be a clear head-to-head weakness for the Knicks in the series, but it was nearly even in Game 1 \u2014 the Pistons had 22 fast break points, while the Knicks had 19. <\/p>\n
McBride was \u2014 and will continue to be \u2014 key to bridging that gap.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe things [McBride] is able to do on both sides of the ball is fantastic,\u201d Jalen Brunson said Sunday. \u201cI think we play very well off each other. I think the chemistry we\u2019ve gotten the last couple of years has definitely helped. If it\u2019s him or anyone else, I feel like when we\u2019re out there we have to have great chemistry, which I feel like this team does.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
