The Detroit Pistons hosted the New York Knicks on Sunday in a pivotal Game 4 of their first-round NBA playoff series. After a back-and-forth battle, the Knicks pulled out a 94-93 win that ended in controversy. The Pistons had the ball on the final possession, trailing by one with star point guard Cade Cunningham in control.

The Knicks narrowly escaped with a 118-116 Game 3 win in Detroit to take a 2-1 lead in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Karl-Anthony Towns was a key contributor in Game 3 with 31 points and eight rebounds. It was encouraging for the Knicks, who have mostly relied on Jalen Brunson leading the scoring charge in the first two games of the series.

The New York Knicks are one win away from the second round in the 2025 NBA playoffs. The Knicks are up 3-1 against the Detroit Pistons after their come-from-behind 94-93 victory in Sunday's Game 4. Jalen Brunson returned from an ankle injury in the fourth quarter and Karl-Anthony Towns made clutch shots to help New York to a one-point win.
