So relieved. I'm not sure I could have handled another botched ending loss. Well done to show some better composure. Is this 4 out of 5 games the home team lost this series? Crazy!

Ausar was so good tonight

Man, I'm just so proud of this team. That's all I'm gonna say.

How special would it be to get a game 7 in the Garden.

Next game is Thursday which isn't much time to rest up... should be at least a slight advantage for our younger legs.

Possibly Ausar's best game as a piston

They have no bench, Brunson’s ankle looks like it’s ready to go and Thibs has taken the players 100k miles without an oil change lol

The moment is shifting!

It's a huge advantage. Brunson is hurt.

How good does it feel to really compete?

This isn’t your Blake Griffin lead, sacrificial lambs.

Ausar coming out party tonight, on both offense and defense. Was unreal. If he ever develops some semblance of a jumper then he is our second star.

Ausar with a legit jumpshot is Kawhi. He would become unguardable

If I would have said exactly 6 months ago (Oct 29th and we were 0-4 at that point to start the season with losses to Indy, Cleveland, Boston and Miami) that we'd not only make the playoffs but we'd still be playing after Miami, Orlando, and Milwaukee were all eliminated everyone here would have thought I had finally lost it... but here we are.

The Knicks are complete frauds. It feels like we could be up 5-0 right now and we're missing 2 key rotation guys and not playing particularly well offensively. Even at their peak the Knicks are a clear step below the top 2 teams with no clear way to improve their roster.

That team had super high expectations after getting OG, Bridges and then KAT a first round exit to the Pistons in game 7 at MSG would be an automatic get a new coach card.

Another win shooting sub 30% from 3. I’ll take it but man it’d be nice to get a hot shooting game or 2 in

The good news is that most players become better shooters over time. But Ausar is starting from a pretty low point shot-wise.

Kawhi and Jimmy Butler were defensive standouts far before becoming good offensive players.

... damn I had to miss the game!
