That was a playoff basketball game.
It was incredibly tense from start to finish as the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks went toe-to-toe and blow-to-blow. It was chippy between the two teams the entire time. We saw a flagrant-1 foul from Jalen Brunson, three technical fouls due to a kerfuffle between Paul Reed, Mitchell Robinson, and Karl-Anthony Towns, and double-technicals issued to Dennis Schroder and Cam Payne.
In the end, the Knicks were able to rely on their star players to carry them across the finish line, 118-116. The Pistons, meanwhile, made it close, but didn’t get enough from its key players, but fought and scrapped to the end.
