The toughest playoff series: Brunson gives the Knicks a golden victory

Even before the start of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons matchup promised to be a tough series in all its games. Game 1 did not disappoint at all, with a crucial win for the Big Apple team.

Despite starting the final quarter 8 points down, the Knicks managed to come back with a huge 21-40 run to take the first game against the Pistons by 112-123.

Jalen Brunson led the victory with an impressive performance of 34 points and 8 assists. Karl-Anthony Towns, in his playoff debut with the Knicks, delivered a solid 23-11-5 stat line (with 4 steals) to co-lead his team's triumph.

For the Pistons, the team should not be discouraged at all. It's their first playoffs in many years, and a loss was expected in the first game at Madison Square Garden. At least they competed until the end, with a great showing from Cade Cunningham (21 points and 12 assists). Besides, series are always very long.
