"The New York Knicks winning ways were stopped at eight consecutive games following a lackadaisical 118-80 road loss to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. Given the bonus basketball involved in the 134-127 double overtime win against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, it's not entirely shocking that Mike Brown's team lacked some zest in the loss that dropped the Knicks record to 33-19 on the season."
"Mikal Bridges led the Knicks scoring effort with 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting. Jalen Brunson recorded 12 points on a 20% shooting effort (4-for-20), including 0-8 from behind the curved three-point arc. Josh Hart played 25 minutes despite being featured on the pre-game injury report with a left ankle sprain. OG Anunoby (right toe soreness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (right eye laceration) did not play against Detroit on Friday night."
"Daniss Jenkins, an undrafted guard who played in New York for the St. John's Red Storm in 2023-24, led the Pistons in scoring with 18 points off the bench. I just wanted to come out and impact the game, the second-year guard said postgame. Just change that energy. My teammates played really well tonight. We all played a really good game."
The New York Knicks' eight-game winning streak ended with a 118-80 loss to the Detroit Pistons, dropping their record to 33-19. The Knicks appeared fatigued after a 134-127 double-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets, contributing to a lackluster performance. Mikal Bridges scored 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting while Jalen Brunson managed 12 points on 4-of-20 with an 0-for-8 mark from three. Josh Hart logged 25 minutes despite a left ankle sprain on the injury report. OG Anunoby (right toe soreness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (right eye laceration) did not play. Daniss Jenkins led the Pistons with 18 off the bench. The Knicks travel to Boston next; the Celtics enter on a five-game winning streak and the season series is split.
