DETROIT — The Knicks' team bus ran into some bad traffic on the way to Little Caesars Arena Tuesday night and ended up arriving a half hour later than they had planned.
The night went downhill from there as the Knicks ran into a physical Pistons team that left the Knicks feeling gridlocked and handed them a 115-108 loss.
The defeat served as a dose of reality for a young Knicks team that entered the game on a three-game win streak, their longest of the season.
The Knicks (7-15) made just 39.6 percent of their shots (36-for-91) with some of the players they count on for offense the most struggling.
