Pistons End Losing Streak with Cunningham's Triple-Double Against Knicks

Detroit capitalized on New York's defensive struggles and absence of Karl-Anthony Towns to secure a 120-111 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with a standout triple-double performance of 29 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds, marking his fifth of the season.
Detroit snapped a three-game losing streak and ended a 16-game skid against the Knicks, shooting 50% from beyond the arc with Malik Beasley contributing 23 points off the bench.
The Knicks struggled defensively, allowing 39 first-quarter points, and were outrebounded 43-31 in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns, who missed the game due to a sore left knee.
Jalen Brunson's 31 points and 10 assists, along with strong efforts from Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby, were not enough to overcome New York's early deficit and turnovers in the final quarter.
The game featured a halftime celebration honoring over 40 former Knicks players, including legends like Patrick Ewing and Clyde Frazier, in front of a star-studded Madison Square Garden crowd.
