Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson lead Knicks in pivotal Game 3 win over Pistons
The New York Knicks took a 2-1 series lead over the Detroit Pistons after taking Game 3, 118-116, on the road on Thursday. All-Stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson led the way in the pivotal victory.
Towns top-scored for New York, finishing with 31 points on 10 of 18 shooting and 4 of 8 from deep. He also had eight rebounds and two blocks in 41 minutes. The 10-year veteran got things going early for the Knicks and was steady throughout as they held tough for the win.
Jalen Brunson had a near triple-double of 30 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in 39 minutes. He struggled with his shooting, going 9 of 20 from the field and 1 of 7 from 3-point land but scored crucial free throws in the closing seconds to help his team's cause.
The Pistons did not go down without a fight. The Pistons were still in the game with 0.5 seconds and down by just two points 118-116. They, however, blew their opportunity to tie, or even win the game, after Jalen Duren's pass went out of bounds.
All-Star guard Cade Cunningham had a double-double of 24 points and 11 assists for the Pistons, with Tim Hardaway Jr. adding 24 points of his own.
The Knicks will try to bury the Pistons further in Game 4 set for Sunday also in Detroit.
