Pistons

non-call

DETROIT
- The
New York
Knicks
narrowly
escaped
with a
thrilling
94–93
victory
on the
road
Sunday,
seizing
a
commanding
3–1
series
lead
over the
Detroit
Pistons.
Knicks
star
point
guard
Jalen
Brunson
provided
a
dramatic
twist,
briefly
leaving
the game
in the
third
quarter
after
tweaking
his
right
ankle.
However,
he
returned
early in
the
fourth
and
erupted
for 15
crucial
points
in the
final
period,
igniting
New
York’s
offense
when it
mattered
most.
Meanwhile,
Knicks
big man
Karl-Anthony
Towns
put
together
an
electrifying
sequence
late in
the
game,
draining
two
tough
baskets
on
consecutive
possessions
and
scoring
the
team’s
final
five
points.
Despite
Towns’
heroics,
the
contest
ended in
chaos
and
controversy,
leaving
the NBA
world
buzzing.
With
just
seconds
remaining,
Pistons
standout
Cade
Cunningham
missed a
midrange
jumper
near the
nail. In
the
frantic
scramble
for the
rebound,
the ball
found
Tim
Hardaway
Jr., who
managed
to get
off a
potential
game-winning
three-pointer
as the
clock
expired.
Knicks
wing
Josh
Hart
closely
contested
the shot
and may
have
made
contact,
but the
officials
chose
not to
call a
foul.
The shot
fell
short,
and the
Knicks
survived
the wild
finish.
With the
win, New
York
heads
back to
Madison
Square
Garden,
putting
the
Pistons
on the
brink of
elimination
and
sending
fans
into a
frenzy
ahead of
a
pivotal
Game 5.
