Knicks Dominate Pistons 118-116 in Game 3 Playoff Win

The New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons are locked in a tightly contested playoff series, with both teams adjusting strategies and key players stepping up. The Pistons snapped a 15-game playoff losing streak with a win in Game 2, fueled by Cade Cunningham's strong performances and Dennis Schroder's veteran presence. Detroit's defensive tactics, particularly using Jalen Duren to guard Josh Hart and Tobias Harris on Karl-Anthony Towns, have limited Towns' impact from the perimeter and exposed a Knicks weakness. However, Towns responded in Game 3 with an aggressive 30-point performance, helping the Knicks regain home-court advantage. The Knicks have struggled to contain Cunningham, whose playmaking has made Detroit a formidable opponent, raising concerns for New York if they cannot adjust defensively. Both teams continue to adapt, with coaching decisions and individual performances likely to determine the series outcome.
