Jalen Brunson had a great game against the Pistons, recording 31 points and dishing out 10 assists. However, turnovers were an issue for him without Towns, as he turned the ball over five times.
Brunson has continued to have a great season after a slow start. He is now averaging 26.8 points and 8.7 assists in his last 10 games.
The Knicks’ four-game winning streak comes to an end, along with their 16-game winning streak against the Pistons dating back to 2019. They will hope to have Towns and Payne back for their next game on Monday against the Toronto Raptors and get a comeback win on the road.
