Tom Thibodeau expressed frustration over the free throw disparity in the New York Knicks' playoff loss to the Detroit Pistons, citing a significant difference with the Knicks only taking 19 attempts compared to the Pistons' 34.

He emphasized the need for consistency in officiating, particularly when comparing the plays of Cade Cunningham and Jalen Brunson, who both had similar free throw success rates. Despite this, Brunson's 37 points were not enough as the Knicks struggled with offensive execution, leading to their second-round series being even at 1-1.
