The New York Knicks narrowly secured a 94-93 victory over the Detroit Pistons in Game 4 on Sunday, taking a 3-1 series lead. It was a physical and fast-paced matchup, and Karl-Anthony Towns came up big for the Knicks down the stretch.
With 90 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Towns hit a ridiculous fadeaway jumper on the baseline to cut Detroit’s lead to two, before hitting a 28-foot bomb to give the Knicks the lead and secure the win.

The Knicks were led by Towns and Jalen Brunson in the clutch on their way to the victory. The Pistons are a hungry team though and while a 3-1 lead is usually a good indicator of who will win the series, we’ve certainly seen crazier comebacks before.
