What started as one of the most bizarre and frustrating games of the Detroit Pistons’ bizarre and frustrating season ended as one of the more normal games of the season. Monty Williams changed up the starting lineup, played guys who hadn’t seen the floor in several games and tried a bit of everything, but ultimately, the Pistons fell to the New York Knicks 118-112.
The game began with the surprise addition of Isaiah Livers and Killian Hayes into the starting lineup. Killian was inserted so that Cade Cuningham could play more off the ball, and Livers was inserted to create more space in place of rookie Ausar Thompson.
