The New York Knicks (11 - 46) defeated the Detroit Pistons (23 - 35) 121 - 115 on Friday at the Palace of Auburn Hills. While currently riding an eight - game losing streak, the Knicks were able to overcome the drought and secured a victory in a double - overtime thriller. With just six seconds left in regulation, Langston Galloway came up clutch for the Knicks and hit a three - point shot to tie the game. Anthony Tolliver had a shot to win it at the buzzer, but instead it went into overtime. In the first overtime, it was the Pistons who came up with the clutch bucket at the end of the period, as Greg Monroe made a layup to even the score with 12 seconds left, eventually pushing it to a second overtime. The Knicks took off in the second overtime though, and finished off the surprising six - point victory on road, which marked just their eleventh total win on the season. The Knicks saw a huge contribution from Andrea Bargnani, who posted a team - high of 25 points (10 - 20 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 4 - 5 FT), to go along with 12 rebounds and four assists. He has only played eight games so far this season, and this was far - and - away his most productive showing. The point, rebound and assist numbers were all season - highs, while the double - double was his first of the year as well. Posting a double - double of his own, Lou Amundson was very effective, finishing with 17 points (8 - 16 FG, 1 - 1 FT), 14 rebounds and three blocked shots. Despite averaging just 4 points per game, he's now posted double figures in points in three straight games, after previously hitting that mark only once so far this year. Tim Hardaway Jr was dialed in with his shot, going 7 - for - 14 from the field and 2 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 18 points, while also adding four assists. He shot a combined 7 - for - 24 from the field over his last two games, so it was refreshing to see him find increased succes during Friday's matchup. Coming off the bench, Shane Larkin added 16 points (5 - 9 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT) and three assists. For the Pistons, the frontcourt duo of Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond were a huge reason for their success. Each recorded a double - double, as Monroe posted 28 points (9 - 13 FG, 10 - 15 FT), 13 rebounds and two blocked shots, while Drummond finished with 21 points (9 - 11 FG, 3 - 7 FT), 15 rebounds and four blocked shots. Drummond has been on an absolute tear of late, posting four double - doubles in a row, while averaging 19 points and 15 rebounds over that span. He's averaging 13 points and 13 rebounds on the season. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope gave the frontcourt some help as well and recorded 19 points (7 - 18 FG, 3 - 11 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and six rebounds. Like Drummond, he's playing at a very high rate, averaging 21 points over his last three games. Both Reggie Jackson and Jodie Meeks reached double - digit points as well. Jackson finished with 16 points (5 - 24 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT) and five assists, while Meeks notched 16 points (5 - 8 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) and two assists. The Pistons just could n't limit the Knicks enough to secure a win. The Knicks' next game will be at home against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, while the Pistons will travel to Washington to play the Wizards on Saturday.
