Over the past week, the Pistons came into Madison Square Garden and took care of business. Despite their lack of playoff experience, they won one on the road and evened the series, also getting their first postseason win since 2008. Tonight, as the series moved to Detroit, their focus turned to protecting home court and gaining an edge over the Knicks. As expected, tensions were flaring between both teams and it led to a wild physical altercation between Karl-Anthony Towns and Paul Reed.
It happened in the closing seconds of the opening quarter. Well, the altercation initially started with Reed and Mitchell Robinson going at each other, fighting to establish position. Seeing the two big men go head-to-head, Towns stepped in and shoved Reed away from his teammate. Before the situation could escalate, officials and team staff rushed in to separate the three stars. However, the damage was already done.
Upon review, Mitchell and Reed were assessed with a double-technical foul. Then, an additional tech was handed out to KAT for his involvement.
