Pistons secure first playoff win since 2008, tied 1-1 vs. Knicks

The Detroit Pistons snapped a 15-game playoff losing streak with a 100-94 victory over the New York Knicks, tying their first-round series at 1-1. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with a playoff career-high 33 points and 11 rebounds, bouncing back from a less impressive Game 1 performance. The Knicks had rallied late to tie the game, but Dennis Schröder hit a crucial three-pointer in the final minute, and the Pistons held on to secure their first postseason win since 2008. Jalen Duren contributed a double-double, stepping up in the absence of Isaiah Stewart. The win marks a significant turnaround for Detroit, which had endured years of struggles and entered the playoffs as the sixth seed following a 30-win improvement from the previous season. The teams will continue their series with the momentum now shifted to the Pistons.
