The bench contributed with just 8 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns scored just 10. Also the Knicks shot from deep 10-for-35, only 28.6%.
Cade Cunningham officially arrived. This win proved that he has the mentality to take his game to another level, and time will tell if he is really a superstar and a leader. The former No.1 pick had 33 points and 12 boards.
Three of the Pistons players had double-digit figures in the rebounding column. Apart from Cunningham, Tobias Harris and Jalen Durren added 13 each. Dennis Schroder came off the bench to score 20 and become an X-factor.
