Knicks 94, Pistons 85: ‘Time to start holding the starters accountable’

There was a feeling in the air prior to the New York Knicks’ Wednesday night clash with the Detroit Pistons. Something that hasn’t been felt since the heady early days of “Bing Bong.” Perhaps the Knicks were figuring things out. Players like Evan Fournier (out with an ankle injury), Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, RJ Barrett, and Kemba Walker seemed to be regaining their old form. Youngsters like Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickly, and Quentin Grimes (starting in Fournier’s place) were hit a new stride. The team had won two in a row, its first winning streak since late October.
