In the Eastern Conference of the NBA, the matchups for the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs are already known. New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons will face off in one of the most evenly matched series imaginable.
The leap in level that the Pistons have taken this season is admirable. From being one of the worst teams in the league for years, they finished 5th in the regular season. With Cade Cunningham as the star, Detroit approaches the playoffs with great ambition.
Cunningham himself recently made statements collected by HoopsHype, warning the Knicks that the Pistons will not settle for their great year so far:
"We are not satisfied at all. I've said it before, we remain hungry. We want to win this first round. That's what we are focused on now. And I think the energy has been incredible, but I don't think it can compare to what the playoffs will be. I'm looking forward to seeing it," said Cade Cunningham.
