Despite finding themselves on the wrong end of a controversial call that decided Game 4, the Detroit Pistons flushed the thought of being slighted away and placed all of their focus on simply keeping their season alive in Game 5 on the road against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Jalen Brunson 's 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 4.3 seconds remaining in regulation lifted the New York Knicks to a 116-113 win over the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 of their first-round NBA playoff series. With the win, the Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals to face the Boston Celtics.
