"Karl-Anthony Towns, no shots in the fourth quarter, just three in the second half, so that makes you wonder about the offensive process here in Game 2," said insider Ian Begley.

New York won Game 1, 123-114 behind a 21-0 run in the fourth quarter to pull away from Detroit. The Knicks out-scored the Pistons 40-21 in the fourth quarter after entering trailing by 8 points. Leading the way with 34 points and 8 assists was Jalen Brunson, while Karl-Anthony Towns added a 23-point and 11-rebound double-double.
