The New York Knicks got their first road win of the season on Wednesday in Miami. Karl-Anthony Towns set a Knicks career-high of 44 points on 17-of-25 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 from deep.
Jalen Brunson said it was on him to get his teammates more involved after KAT took only eight shots in Monday's loss to Cleveland. The point guard meant what he said. Brunson had an off night but finished with a season-high nine assists.
Detroit is New York's next stop on its road trip. The Pistons are 1-4 on the season and are coming off their first win over the Sixers. Jaden Ivey scored 23 points (9-of-17), and Cade Cunningham had 22 points (6-of-15). Detroit's record isn't encouraging, but the Pistons look much better than last season.
New York fans shouldn't view Friday's game as an automatic win, especially after KAT popped up on the injury report. He could miss his first game of the season.
