Through the first week of the NBA playoffs, one thing that has stood out is the lack of ball movement from the New York Knicks in their series with the Detroit Pistons. Speaking to ESPN's Tim Bontemps, one scout for a Western Conference team thinks that Jalen Brunson's style of play has "caught up" with the Knicks in the playoffs:

DETROIT — Karl-Anthony Towns was aggressive early and Jalen Brunson was effective late. Towns scored 11 of his 31 points in the first quarter and Brunson had 12 of his 30 in the fourth to help the New York Knicks hold on for a 118-116 win over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.
