The New York Knicks are in the midst of a process that few could possibly envy. Though the 2016 NBA offseason was more rewarding than most expected it to be, developing chemistry is a task that requires time, patience, and experience.

The Knicks are currently two regular season games into that process, which makes the third outing of the year one worth discussing.

The Knicks will travel to play the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Tuesday, November 1. New York enters the game at 1-1 following a 117-89 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and a 111-104 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Detroit Pistons will enter Tuesday’s encounter at 2-1 after losing to the Toronto Raptors and securing wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic.

With Jeff Hornacek in his first year as head coach of the Knicks, one of the primary goals should be to win on the road. After losing to the Cavaliers in Cleveland by 28 points, this clash with the Pistons will provide New York with an opportunity to achieve redemption.

The question is: what must New York do in order to secure a road victory over the Pistons in Detroit?
