How Pistons are moving on from controversial non-call against Knicks: Makes it ‘sting more’
NY Post
The NBA’s admission that the referees botched a critical call at the end of Game 4 was of no consolation to the Pistons.
The league acknowledged Monday that Josh Hart should have been called for making “more than marginal contact” with Tim Hardaway Jr. on the missed 3-point attempt at the buzzer of the Knicks’ 94-93 victory Sunday in Detroit.
The Pistons didn’t take any solace in that concession as they suddenly faced elimination Tuesday night at the Garden.
“Yeah, for sure, I think that makes it hurt, sting more, for sure,” Detroit forward Tobias Harris said following a morning shootaround before Game 5 at MSG. “But that’s in the past now.
“It’s heartbreaking obviously, but that’s over with. We understand where we’re at today and what we gotta do [Tuesday night].”
All-Star point guard Cade Cunningham added the Pistons “knew they got it wrong in the moment, so it’s really no difference.”

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
