Cade Cunningham and the Pistons cut the Knicks

The start of the game goes very fast, too fast, for the Knicks. The Pistons dominate in the first minutes, and Jalen Brunson should take responsibility for the New York troops to enter the match (30-29). We feel that Detroit’s players are setting the pace, with the defense going up and stealing the ball.

Mike Brown and his gang manage to react, but they are still in reaction and not action (64-54).

The reaction will not come in the second half because the Knicks miss the third quarter. Missed shots abound as Cade Cunningham has fun on the other end. The difference increases to twenty points as the difference between the two teams is big during these minutes.

It is certainly a shy 8-0 from New York, but the match is completely tilted towards Michigan (89-69). The last quarter is without interest, except for substitutes. Guerschon Iabusele comes in significantly, but the Frenchman will not score in nine minutes, in this great victory of Detroit (121-109).

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– The Knicks’ fourth straight loss. It doesn’t work anymore in New York, which thus loses second place in the Eastern Conference, overtaken by Boston. Ever since they won the NBA Cup, this team has stopped running and this tough failure shows it perfectly.

– Great match by Cade Cunningham. With 29 points on 11/17 shooting and 13 assists in just 29 minutes, Detroit’s leader was excellent. And if the Pistons bench was also very good, the All-Star who won his prestigious duel with Jalen Branson shone the most.

– A message sent from Detroit? Jay Bickerstaff’s players have been somewhat less effective in recent weeks. With this solid and authoritarian victory, and newfound defense, they show that they are truly the best in the East and great competitors. All without Jalen Duren…
