Knicks Edge Pistons 94-93, Claim 3-1 Series Lead

The New York Knicks staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Detroit Pistons 94-93 in Game 4 of their first-round NBA playoff series, taking a 3-1 lead and moving one win away from advancing. After leading early, the Knicks fell behind by 11 points in the fourth quarter before Jalen Brunson, despite suffering a leg injury, and Karl-Anthony Towns led a late surge. Towns hit a crucial fadeaway jumper and a deep three-pointer in the final minutes, while Brunson scored 15 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter. The Pistons had two chances to win in the closing seconds, but missed both, including a contested shot by Tim Hardaway Jr. for which no foul was called. The Knicks' resilience and star performances have been central to their playoff run, with Game 5 set to take place at Madison Square Garden. Detroit’s strong third quarter was ultimately overcome by New York’s experience and clutch play.
