NEW YORK — The Detroit Pistons may not have history on their side, but they’re not out of it just yet.
The Pistons held off the New York Knicks on Tuesday night in a 106-103 victory, temporarily staving off elimination in their first-round series and setting up a Game 6 in Detroit on Thursday night (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT).
Jalen Duran's dunk off a Cade Cunningham assist gave the Pistons a 95-93 lead with 3:08 left that they would not relinquish.
The Pistons are trying to become just the 14th team in NBA history to rally from a 3-1 series deficit, with 95.
