NBA – The Knicks won their 10th win of the season tonight. and now points to 10th place in the Eastern Conference. On the Detroit side, we are probably already thinking too much about Victor Wembanyama.

First game tonight, the clash between Knicks and Pistons will not have given rise to great suspense. Under the impetus of a very good Julius Randlefor once very skilful behind the arc, the Knicks quickly take the lead 40 to 32 at the end of the first quarter. Collectively, much better than during their last performances, New-York was able to take advantage of the defensive weakness of his evening opponent to widen the gap again. At halftime, the score is heavy but logical for Detroit. New-York then leads to the score 70 to 56.

Detroit’s slim hopes of returning to the game were quickly extinguished. Thus, the Knicks very quickly have too large a gap leaving no hope for their opponent. Auteur of a remarkable third quarter ( 38 at 21 in the third quarter)the players of New-York did not have to force their talents even allowing themselves to rest their executive players at the end of the match.

Very prominent during the first period, Julius Randle then ends the meeting with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, well supported by RJ Barrett ( 16 points )Quentin Grimes ( 16 points ) as well as Jalen Brunson ( 16 points et 5 passes decisive). Worst team in the NBA in terms of three-point shooting, New-York will have shown on this match that he had what it takes to shoot better. Evan Fournier was once again left on their bench despite the arrival on the field of many secondary players during the garbage time.

New York therefore won logically against one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks will have to confirm tomorrow at Madison Square Garden against the Bucks. Difficult evening in anticipation for Tom’s men Thibodeau.
