The New York Knicks kicked off their 2022-23 season by kicking off their 2022 preseason with a 117-96 win over the Detroit Pistons. There’s only so much one can ethically draw from the first preseason game, so there’s only so much I have to say about it.
The Knicks took over after the first quarter, outscoring the Pistons by 20 the rest of the way. The starters followed the script we’ll pro’ly get a lot of this year: the Southpaw Set led the way with Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett outscoring Detroit’s starting five while making nearly two-thirds of their shots.
