When Dennis Schroder shot the ball, I think every Detroit Pistons fan had the same reaction.
“nonononononoono... YES!”
The veteran backup point guard scored four points in the final minute to help stop the bleeding as the New York Knicks once again were primed to erase a big Pistons’ lead in their first-round series at Madison Square Garden.
Schroder’s heroics, combined with a pair of late misses by the Knicks, saw the Pistons do what they could not in Game 1 — face adversity and overcome it. The result was a 98-94 win to even the series at 1-1.
