Pistons' Bagley steps up, scores season-high 27 points in 104-102 loss to Knicks

Special to The Detroit News

Detroit — The Pistons’ fast-and-furious comeback fell short in Sunday afternoon’s 104-102 loss to the Knicks, but they did get a special performance from forward Marvin Bagley III.

Bagley had a season-high 27 points with seven rebounds, and is giving the franchise cause to believe they just might have something in the former NBA No. 2 overall draft pick obtained six weeks ago.

Bagley had 25 points in 35 minutes Friday, when going in early after Jerami Grant came out with a left calf strain in that loss to the Washington Wizards.
