The New York Knicks have followed a lopsided loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Detroit Pistons. Despite playing a brilliant first half, the Knicks fell apart during the third and fourth quarters.
True as that may be, the home opener provided fans and analysts with reasons to be optimistic about the future of the Knicks.
New York lost a nail-biter by a score of 111-107, but the context of the loss led to understandable disappointment. The interior played a dominant game, but the point guards and wings struggled to produce against the postseason hopeful Pistons.
