What channel is Detroit Pistons game today vs. New York Knicks? Time, TV, stream
The Detroit Pistons’ punishment for dropping a franchise-record (for a single season) 15th straight game? ANOTHER GAME. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
The Pistons on Thursday night get to take on the New York Knicks, who are fresh after having Wednesday off, at Madison Square Garden as “the world’s most famous arena” plays host to a Detroit squad for the second straight night (the Red Wings lost, 3-2, to the Rangers on Wednesday night).
The Pistons, obviously, lost as well, and badly, 133-107 to the Los Angeles Lakers, as leading scorer Cade Cunningham mustered just 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting. Isaiah Livers added 14 points off the bench and Ausar Thompson and Isaiah Stewart chipped in 12 points apiece.
SHAWN WINDSOR: If these Detroit Pistons don't get better, then Troy Weaver has to go
Cunningham’s rough night was his first in four tries in which he failed to top 25 points. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick is averaging 21.8 points a game — that’d be cause for celebration if he wasn’t shooting inefficiently and also averaging 4.4 turnovers, worst in the NBA. (Though he only had two on Wednesday; baby steps!)
The Knicks, meanwhile, are very much a Tom Thibodeau team, grinding down their foes to the tune of 105.1 points a game, the best in the league. Coupled with an attack that makes up for its 44.1% shooting percentage — 28th in the league entering Wednesday — with 47.2 rebounds a game … well, we’ve seen this style of hoops before in Detroit. In this manner, forward Julius Randle isn’t their best player — his 19.2 points a game is merely second on the roster — but is the engine of the roster, with 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and, well, a 39.5% shooting mark from the floor (that drops to 27.5% when he takes a 3, which he does six times a game).

Thankfully, the Pistons won’t follow up tonight’s game with another on Friday, win or lose; instead, they’ll get a day off before hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. The Knicks, meanwhile, have a game Friday at the Toronto Raptors, who are also not good, but not “lose 15 in a row” not-good.
