Detroit Pistons fans waited six years for an NBA home playoff game.
Little Caesars Arena provided an electric, juiced up atmosphere on Thursday night, but the New York Knicks answered the heckling with their best game of this first-round NBA playoff series.
Karl-Anthony Towns poured in 31 points and Jalen Brunson scored 30 to push the Knicks past the Pistons 118-116 in a wild Game 3 in Detroit. The Knicks lead the best-of-seven series, 2-1.
There are two off days before Game 4 on Sunday in Detroit (1 p.m., ABC).
