The New York Knicks have the chance to close things out tonight against the Detroit Pistons, and they’ll try to do it in front of a home crowd.
Despite a controversial no-call, the Knicks took Game 4 on the road by just one point, besting the Pistons 94-93. Jalen Brunson exited the game with an apparent injury, but returned with 10 minutes left in the game to help propel the Knicks to the win. Karl-Anthony Towns was another key player in Game 4, hitting three key shots late in the game.
The Knicks can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a win tonight; if not, they’ll head back to Detroit for a pivotal Game 6.
