On Saturday, the New York Knicks will host the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden for Game 1 of their NBA playoff series.

The Pistons were one of the best stories in the league during the regular season.

Before the game, All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson was asked about the Pistons (h/t SNY's Knicks Videos).

Reporter: "How would you describe the challenge of this young Pistons team that you're taking on?"

Brunson: "It's definitely a challenge. They bring a level of physicality that is known with J.B. Bickerstaff teams... I think they embrace that. They embrace him. They got a good thing going over there, and so it's definitely going to be a challenge."
