DETROIT (AP) — Cade Cunningham had 36 points and eight assists, lifting the Detroit Pistons to a 115-106 win over the New York Knicks on Thursday night in a possible preview of a first-round matchup in the NBA playoffs.
New York was without starters OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) due to injuries and failed to clinch the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.
All-Star guard Jalen Brunson briefly left the game late in the third quarter after rolling his left ankle but returned to finish with 15 points, missing 10 of 15 shots.

He wasn’t seeing enough of an edge, enough consistent effort and execution, or enough desperate striving from his players to improve.
It sounds like the Seminoles heard his challenge and responded to it at Thursday’s practice.
“We did not lack intensity today. That was a good, good practice in a sense of guys coming out with purpose,” Norvell began Thursday’s press conference by saying.
Make it three in a row.
