The New York Knicks traded for Evan Fournier, who finished with 13 points, and Simone Fontecchio, who scored 17 points.
According to Pistons coach Monty Williams, “I was proud of the way we hung in there.” “We scored 47 points against a team that was dominating the first half, and our defense in the second half set a standard for how we want to play. That speaks volumes about our ability.” Afterwards, they face the diminished Knicks.
The Knicks lost 116-102 to the Boston Celtics, a team that was the greatest in the NBA, as they were unable to catch up after missing some of their key players. Josh Hart scored 16 points, while Jalen Brunson scored 34 points on 12-for-25 shooting from the field and 4-for-9 from 3-point range. The four-game season series ended in a sweep for them. In the first half, the Celtics shot 42.9 percent from beyond the 3-point arc and 66.7% from the field. Boston led by four points at the start of the second half, but a 30-11 surge sealed the victory.

OG Anunoby (elbow) is still out, which means Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa will likely continue to play bigger roles.
