Knicks’ winning streak momentum will be put to big test vs. Pistons
NY Post
The Knicks’ resurgence will face its toughest test yet.
They carry an eight-game winning streak into Detroit on Friday night for their game against the Pistons.
Even with that run of success, the Knicks are more than arm’s length away from the Pistons at the top of the Eastern Conference.
At 33-18, they are tied with the Celtics — whom they face in Boston on Sunday — for second in the conference.
The Knicks were in the midst of their downturn during their previous matchup with the Pistons — their fourth loss during a stretch in which they lost nine out of 11 games.
They were punked — with that matchup in Detroit as well — from the get-go, falling 121-90 just hours after owner James Dolan went on the radio and reiterated championship expectations.
