Knicks must fix season-long weakness in battle vs. Pistons
NY Post
The Pistons badly exposed a Knicks weakness during the regular season — and it’s not even particularly one of their own strengths.
In four regular-season games against the Pistons — in which the Knicks went 1-3, including losing the final three matchups — Detroit torched them from 3-point range.
The Pistons shot 32.4, 50.0, 44.1 and 36.4 percent from behind the arc in those four games, respectively. Combined, the Pistons went 52-for-126 from 3 — good for a stellar 41.3 percent.
For context, the Bucks led the NBA in 3-point percentage in the regular season with a 38.7 percent mark.
“[Tim] Hardaway [Jr.] is a 3-point shooter. [Malik] Beasley had a monster year from 3. [Cade] Cunningham can shoot it,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said after practice on Wednesday. “You look at it, you study it, and you have to prepare for what you’re facing next.”
The scary part for the Knicks is that the Pistons are not even really known for their 3-point prowess.
