The Knicks secured a 123-112 victory over the Detroit Pistons in Game 1 of their playoff series at Madison Square Garden. New York’s strong defensive effort, particularly against Cade Cunningham, along with OG Anunoby’s standout performance of 23 points, helped them maintain momentum despite a back-and-forth game. Jalen Brunson led all scorers with 34 points, while the Knicks’ 21-0 run in the fourth quarter proved crucial for their win; Game 2 is set for Monday at 7:30 p.m.
