The New York Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons 118–116 to take a 2–1 series lead on Thursday night. The ending of the game was downright weird as the Knicks were the benefactor of one odd almost-over-and-back non-call, while the home team's scorer's table was able to technicality their way to an extra possession in the final half-second of the game.
New York had a seven-point lead with 59 seconds remaining and a six point lead with 8.6 seconds on the clock and and the Pistons still ended up with a theoretical shot to win the game at the buzzer.
