The Pistons’ second unit outscored New York’s 35-8 and nobody was more clutch off the bench than Dennis Schroder. The 12-year veteran guard acquired at the trade deadline from Golden State hit a 3-pointer with 56 seconds remaining to snap a 94-94 tie. He then made 1-of-2 free throws with eight seconds left to give Detroit a four-point lead.

The Detroit Pistons hope to even the playoff series to 2-2 win a win over the Knicks on April 27 at Little Ceasars Arena.
