Plenty of Eastern teams passed the Knicks by this season. The Pistons weren’t one of them. Not yet.
Detroit has an array of promising young first-round pieces and took it down to the final possession Sunday, but the Knicks held on for a 104-102 victory at Little Caesars Arena.
The Pistons had one last-gasp chance to tie or win it with 6.6 seconds left, down two. But rookie Cade Cunningham got stripped by Burks as he looked to shoot from the perimeter. But it was good enough despite a huge outing by Pistons newcomer Marvin Bagley, the one-time No. 2 pick who dropped 27 points , many on Randle and Mitchell Robinson.
The Knicks built a 21-point lead in the second quarter as they heated up from 3-point land. The Pistons closed within 59-47 by halftime.
