Game Preview
The Knicks were stunned at home, losing 100-94 in Game 2. Despite all the controversy about officiating, which is pumped in New York without any reason, they deserved to lose.
The bench contributed with just 8 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns scored just 10. Also the Knicks shot from deep 10-for-35, only 28.6%.
Cade Cunningham officially arrived. This win proved that he has the mentality to take his game to another level, and time will tell if he is really a superstar and a leader. The former No.1 pick had 33 points and 12 boards.
Three of the Pistons players had double-digit figures in the rebounding column. Apart from Cunningham, Tobias Harris and Jalen Durren added 13 each. Dennis Schroder came off the bench to score 20 and become an X-factor.
Knicks vs. Pistons Head to Head
Detroit won 3 of 4 regular season games, two on the road and one at home. So, the overall score this year is 4-2 for the Pistons.
