Detroit is still learning that you can't take quarters off and expect to win consistently in the NBA playoffs. New York went on a 21-3 second-quarter run to go up 66-53 at halftime and the Pistons never caught up. Detroit will come into Game 4 more focused from the beginning as it can't afford to go back to New York down 3-1 in the series. The Pistons still are 9-2 ATS their past 11 games against Atlantic Division opponents. They have won four of six meetings outright with a 4-2 ATS record against the Knicks. Despite the loss, the Pistons have some momentum coming into this game as they outscored the Knicks 63-52 in the second half and came up just short. Take the Pistons.
