Detroit Pistons beat the New York Knicks in Game 2: Reaction roundup

[ASFN Admin]

It was a nail-biter for the Detroit Pistons, but a win is a win in the end.

Fending off a Knicks fourth-quarter comeback, the Pistons held on for a 100-94 win Monday night at Madison Square Garden. The win evened the series at 1-1 and also snapped the Pistons' NBA-record 15-game playoff losing streak.

Pistons star Cade Cunningham led the way with 33 points and 12 rebounds, one of three Pistons to record a double-double in the game. Detroit also got a massive performance from point guard Dennis Schröder, who scored 20 points and made a key 3-pointer down the stretch.

This is the first time the Pistons have won a playoff game since Game 4 of the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals against the eventual champion Boston Celtics.

Here's a roundup of some reactions from the Pistons win:

i kind of love that every time a pistons team is good part of their identity is they’re just gonna drag you into a mud pit and hit you with a 2x4 for 48 minutes
