The Detroit Pistons secured a remarkable victory against the New York Knicks, marking their first playoff win since 2008. Cade Cunningham led the charge with 33 points and 12 rebounds. Dennis Schroder hit a crucial tiebreaking three-pointer with just 55 seconds left on the clock, sealing the game at 100-94 during Game 2 of their playoff series.

This win ended the Pistons’ NBA-record streak of 15 consecutive postseason losses and came after they last qualified for the playoffs in 2019. In a thrilling comeback, the Pistons held off a resurgence from the Knicks after leading by 15 points early in the game, striking back to secure this long-awaited playoff victory.

The Pistons had previously suffered a loss in Game 1, but with a strong performance, they equaled the series before heading to Game 3. After a challenging first playoff game, Schroder’s addition mid-season proved vital, contributing 20 points off the bench. Meanwhile, Jalen Brunson stood out for the Knicks, scoring 37 points even as Towns and Anunoby were limited to just 10 points each, a stark contrast from their performance in the series opener.

With this win, the Pistons are keen to maintain momentum as they host Game 3 on Thursday night.
