On Sunday afternoon, the Knicks were on the road to face the Pistons in Game 4 of their first-round matchup. New York had a 2-1 series lead entering Sunday’s contest.
It was a highly contested game between New York and Detroit. The Pistons knew how much they needed a win in Game 4. It was the difference between being down 3-1 and the series being tied 2-2. In the final seconds of Game 4, Cade Cunningham missed a mid-range shot, and the ball bounced off several players and ended up in the corner. Tim Hardaway Jr. picked up the ball and shot a three-pointer. Knicks’ Josh Hart made contact, but no foul was called. After the game, NBA refs admitted in the pool report that a foul should have been called on Hart for making “marginal contact” with Hardaway Jr.
