The New York Knicks<\/a> winning ways were stopped at eight consecutive games following a lackadaisical 118-80 road loss to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. Given the bonus basketball involved in the 134-127 double overtime win<\/a> against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, it\u2019s not entirely shocking that Mike Brown\u2019s team lacked some zest in the loss that dropped the Knicks record to 33-19 on the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mikal Bridges<\/a> led the Knicks scoring effort with 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting. Jalen Brunson recorded 12 points on a 20% shooting effort (4-for-20), including 0-8 from behind the curved three-point arc. Josh Hart played 25 minutes despite being featured on the pre-game injury<\/a> report with a left ankle sprain. OG Anunoby (right toe soreness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (right eye laceration) did not play against Detroit on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Daniss Jenkins<\/a>, an undrafted guard who played in New York for the St. John\u2019s Red Storm in 2023-24,\u00a0led the Pistons in scoring with 18 points off the bench. \u201cI just wanted to come out and impact the game,\u201d the second-year guard said postgame<\/a>. \u201cJust change that energy. My teammates played really well tonight. We all played a really good game.\u201d .\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will be another quick turnaround for New York as the Knicks travel to visit the Boston Celtics<\/a> for a 12:30 pm tip-off at TD Garden<\/a>. Boston enters riding a five-game winning streak following a 98-96 win over the Miami Heat<\/a> on Friday night. The teams have split the season series so far in 2025-26 with the Knicks prevailing in early October and the Celtics winning at the beginning of December. Following tomorrow afternoon\u2019s contest, New York and Boston will wrap up the season series near the end of the NBA\u2019s regular season on April 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n
