Knicks Overcome Pistons in Thrilling NBA Playoff Opener
In an exhilarating start to the NBA playoffs, the New York Knicks rallied to defeat the Detroit Pistons 123-112 in Game 1. The game was marked by a stunning 21-0 run by the Knicks in the fourth quarter, led by Jalen Brunson, who scored 34 points and assumed a heroic role when his team needed it most. Despite the Pistons showing promise earlier, their fourth-quarter collapse extended their postseason losing streak to an all-time high of 15 games. Celebrities including Russell Wilson and Ciara were in attendance at Madison Square Garden, adding to the electrifying atmosphere. The Knicks will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for Game 2 while the Pistons remain hopeful despite the setback.
