New York and Detroit don’t play Saturday, for some reason.

If you’re like me, you don’t understand why Knicks and Pistons will have Saturday off with Game 4 scheduled for Sunday.

If you’re not, please explain in the comments section below as New York and Detroit patiently wait for tomorrow afternoon’s tip-off.

Here’s what Coach Thibs and buncha dudes have said in the past few hours.

Tom Thibodeau

On the officials gifting Detroit a bonus play after Brunson’s missed free throw:

“[The officials] did say that that’s what’s in the rules. It doesn’t seem right to me. It’s unfortunate. That should never happen, ever, in a playoff game. Never happen.”

On the importance of every possession in playoffs:

“Sometimes, it’s a possession game really in the playoffs, and you don’t know which possession is gonna be the difference, so that’s why you fight to win every possession. Every possession matters.”

OG Anunoby

On the officiating explanation and the confusion of the situation:

“They didn’t give me an explanation. I thought it was going to be a re-shoot of the free throw. They just said — I don’t know. They were saying a bunch of stuff out there.”

Jalen Brunson

On handling chaos at the end of Game 3:

“We could have handled things a lot better, but a win is a win, and we move on.”

On Detroit’s home-court atmosphere:

“They made the environment special for the home team, and we found a way to win the game. But it was definitely a lot. So you’ve got to give a lot of credit to that fan base.”

On the need to keep racking up playoff wins and having short-term memory:

“The playoffs are definitely important and it’s definitely great to get a win regardless of where or what the circumstances are. But it’s great. It’s something that we’re proud of and tomorrow we focus on Game 4.

“So we’ve got to have short-term memory whether we win or lose, we’ve got to have short-term memory.”

Mitchell Robinson

On the bizarre ending of Game 3:

“Hell nah. Nah. I never seen that [before]. But I did today.”

On Brunson’s handling of the Pistons crowd hostilities:

“He handled it like a pro. Most people, they start spasming when people do that [stuff]. But he didn’t do that.”

Josh Hart

On the Knicks’ third-quarter struggles and ultimate dub:

“Happy that we got the win. I feel like there were certain situations and certain times where we could’ve really extended the lead.

“I think we came out to start the third quarter, terrible, sluggish, not playing with pace, energy, physicality. So we’ve got to fix that. And obviously, our goal of playing 48 minutes is an impossible goal. But we have to make sure we limit and minimize those lulls.”

On the intentional missed free throw and what came after that:

“He missed it on purpose. I guess that’s the reason why you go out there and make it. They’re going to give them the shot. If the [scorer’s] table does that, then just re-shoot them.”

On the crowd hostility toward Brunson:

“Yeah, he’s not new to it. I’ve been with JB in a lot of different atmospheres. This obviously, it was a good atmosphere. College, you have sometimes little more rambunctious drunk college kids talking crazy. I’ve been in a lot of atmospheres with him and it doesn’t faze him.”

On expecting the Pistons fans’ behavior:

“Houston did it to Draymond. Boston did it to Draymond. We don’t care. We’re going to go out there and play our game. Nothing the fans do really dictates how we go about anything. That’s the crowd doing their job trying to throw him off. He’s Clutch Player of the Year. In those moments, he’s not too worried about the crowd. He’s focused on helping this team win and he did that.”

J.B. Bickerstaff (Detroit Pistons Head Coach)

On the Pistons’ mindset after the Game 3 loss:

“We won’t be deflated. Our guys are too committed to one another. We’re not results-driven. We’ll show up Sunday and we’re going to lay it on the line. We’re going to fight like hell and see what happens.”

On needing to know more about the “procedural issues” late in Game 3:

“There’s some procedural things that we’ve got questions on. End-of-game situation, we foul. The foul happens, if you go back and look at it, with one second or 0.9 seconds. Question I have is: How come we don’t go and make sure that we’re positive of the time on the clock? The Brunson play, when he catches the ball in the frontcourt, recognizing that he’s getting ready to go into the backcourt and then drops the ball. And we had a timeout with 5.8 seconds on the clock. So there’s some things, procedurally, I have questions about and I’d be interested to hear some answers.”

Ausar Thompson (Detroit Pistons Player)

On taking responsibility after the Game 3 loss:

“The game is never in the refs’ hands. If we come out there and do what we’re supposed to do, the refs don’t really matter. Even though I complain, at the end of the day it’s not about the refs.”

Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons Player)

On the backcourt violation confusion and staying focused going forward:

“If you catch the ball in the frontcourt and you cross the line, I thought that was backcourt. Maybe I’m wrong. (It) always been (in) my life. I thought the time on the clock, I thought we could check that. It was decided not to.

“Those (things) didn’t decide the game, though, at all. So, I’m not harping on those two moments. There were a lot of plays in the first quarter: That run, digging a hole. There are just a lot of plays throughout the game, really small plays, that were biting us.

“Just going to go back, watch the film, talk about it and figure it out.”

On learning from the loss:

“It’s frustrating. We didn’t want to go drop that game. We didn’t want to drop Game 1. Like I said it’s the small things that are coming to bite us, but we’re learning from it and that’s all that we can do. I think all of these things are making us a better team, and I think it’s going to make us better to go win this series.”

Tim Hardaway Jr. (Detroit Pistons Player)

On moving past Game 3:

“Starts right now. This game is over with. All we can do is learn from it, move on, get better and watch film. See what we can do to put ourselves in a better position to win a whole game on Sunday.”

On the Pistons uncontrolled excitement and the Knicks’ execution:

“I think it was a little bit of excitement, you know? Coming back home and playing, but [the Knicks] came in here and did their job. Got to give them credit.”

On self-inflicted mistakes:

“For the most part, we’ve got to do a better job of eliminating the easy ones, the fast break opportunities, and turnovers that we caused on ourselves. Not them, not our opponent doing it to us. We’re forcing it for us to cause those turnovers.”

On the Pistons’ effort despite the loss:

“We competed, we battled, and they did their job. So we’ve got to come back on Sunday and be ready.”
