The Knicks came out flat against the Pistons and fell behind early, before staging a valiant fake comeback and ultimately falling in Detroit.

Key stats:

RJ Barrett: 25 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 10-17 shooting

Julius Randle: 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4-11 shooting

The rest: Mostly a big pile of doo-doo
