The Knicks won 16 in a row against the Pistons from Feb. 8, 2020, to Nov. 1, 2024. But as the Pistons’ fortunes improved midway through the season, so did their performances against the Knicks. Detroit won the final three games against New York, including twice at Madison Square Garden, to take the season series 3-1.

DETROIT – The full schedule for the Detroit Pistons’ first-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Obviously, the final three games in that series will only be played if necessary. This is the most anticipated playoff series at Little Caesars Arena since the Pistons and Red Wings moved there in 2017.

The Pistons' turnaround is one of historic proportions. After finishing 14-68 and last in the Eastern Conference a year ago, the Pistons improved by 30 wins to go 44-38 and avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament. The improvement of 30 wins ranks seventh among the largest single-season turnarounds in NBA history.
