The Detroit Pistons can’t appear to catch a break, and the chaotic sequence that led to loss No. 49 of the season on Monday night time was sufficient to set the web ablaze.
Main the New York Knicks 111–110 with simply over 22 seconds remaining, Detroit wanted to get a cease to tug off a powerful highway victory.
Whereas the Pistons protection held quick on the Knicks’ preliminary possession, the play devolved into a large number of scrambles and turnovers, and the ball, because it has all season, refused to bounce Detroit’s approach.
The ultimate 22 seconds offered loads of drama, and resulted in New York pulling off a surprising victory because of, finally, a made shot from Josh Hart.
It’s a must to see it to consider it.

In the long run, all Williams is prone to get for his phrases is a hefty positive from the NBA as his workforce fell to 8-49 on the season.
It’s been that type of 12 months for the Pistons.
