The New York Knicks are up 3–1 on the Detroit Pistons after a 94–93 win on Sunday afternoon, and they benefitted from a big officiating error in the final seconds.
The Pistons had the ball with time winding down in the fourth quarter, and after Cade Cunningham missed a midrange jumper, Tim Hardaway Jr. attempted a three-pointer as time expired to win the game. He missed, but Knicks defender Josh Hart appeared to make significant contact with Hardaway Jr. as he was rising for his jump shot. The referees did not call a foul, however, which sent Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff into a fury as he cursed out the officials after the final buzzer.
