For the second time this season, the Detroit Pistons paid a visit to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Both times, the Pistons found positive results. Cade Cunningham, specifically, improved his NBA All-Star campaign in both outings.

Cade Cunningham scored 36 points, Malik Beasley had 22 and a pair of clutch 3-pointers in the final 40 seconds and the surging Detroit Pistons beat New York 124-119, their second straight victory over the Knicks after dropping the previous 16 meetings.

In Cunningham’s final visit to MSG this regular season, he dropped a second-half, season-high 29 points en route to 36 total. He had it rolling all evening, and when the Knicks showed a hard double-team, he trusted his teammates.
