Detroit shakes difficult start -up
Maybe the pistons were nervous while starting what could be their last home game of the season. Maybe they were tired of a longer season than last year. Or maybe a very defensive effort of the Knicks has set the early tone.
But New York looked like a team ready to take control of this series after three tight games and to continue the long playoffs expected from them before the season. They made four of their first five attempts of 3 points, passing them to an advance of 29-19 at the end of the first quarter.
On the other side, Detroit seemed to be overwhelmed by the moment, as a young team undergoing post-season pressure for the first time. Six reversals have demonstrated the difficulty of the pistons to manage their offense and helped the Knicks to build an advance.
However, the pistons spread and cut the margin at 50-43 at halftime. This fueled a third quarter wave during which Detroit dominated New York 28-14 and took an advance from one point in the final framework.
Cunningham posted a triple-double for the pistons, marking 25 points with 10 rebounds and 10 assists and adding four blocks. But he took a slow start and was not at all a factor with his outdoor shot, going 0 on 3 behind the arc. Tobias Harris added 18 points with eight rebounds, while Jal caught 17 rebounds with two blocks.
