Game 1 was a test of nerve. For three quarters, Detroit refused to blink. The Knicks fell behind by as many as nine. Then the fourth quarter hit — and with it, the kind of avalanche only a veteran playoff team can summon. The Knicks unleashed a 21-0 run that flipped the game, the momentum, and the mood in the building all at once.

Jalen Brunson scored 34 points, Cam Payne had 11 of his 14 in the fourth quarter and the New York Knicks stunned the Detroit Pistons with a 21-0 run in the final period to rally for a 123-112 victory

Saturday night's Game 1 win against the Detroit Pistons was important for the Knicks who will be right back at it on Monday night for Game 2.
