After enjoying some home cooking on Sunday, October 30, the New York Knicks went back on the road on Tuesday, November 1. After losing 117-88 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in its previous road game, New York needed to perform better in Detroit.

Though the offense was tremendous through three quarters and the defense followed suit in the fourth, New York fell 102-89 to the Detroit Pistons.

The Knicks entered this game at 1-1 after getting blown out by the Cavaliers and defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 111-104. Neither result will define the season, but both offered a glimpse at the full spectrum of Knicks basketball.

With 10 new players, three new starters, a new sixth man, and a new head coach, the Knicks are certainly prone to early struggles.

Against the Pistons, the Knicks had moments of intriguing success and disconcerting strife. Through it all, a number of players managed to step up and provide the Knicks with high-quality performances in the third game of the season

The question is: which players stepped up for the New York Knicks during the 102-89 loss to the Detroit Pistons?
