Part 4/8:
Despite the looming deficit, the Knicks demonstrated resilience, managing to fight back within two points during the fourth quarter. However, every time they appeared to gain momentum, the Pistons countered with decisive plays. Following a mini-comeback by the Knicks, Detroit responded with back-to-back offensive bursts, including a critical 14-2 run that thwarted any hopes of a Knicks victory. A contributing factor to the Knicks’ struggle was the ejection of Josh Hart in the closing minutes, further hindering their chances of recovery.
