The Knicks took a big step closer to the second round with a 94-93 victory in Detroit in Game 4 that was marred late by a foul call officials said they missed as time expired. As it was, the contact Josh Hart made on a 3-point attempt by Tim Hardaway Jr. went down as a no-call and helped a late go-ahead 3 by Karl-Anthony Towns stand in the final minute. The Knicks trailed by 11 in the fourth quarter but big efforts from Towns, who hit two clutch 3-pointers late on his way to 27 points, and from Jalen Brunson, who led all scorers with his 32 points and 11 assists.
