"If the Detroit Pistons' 121-90 win over the New York Knicks on Monday wasn't enough, the Pistons took it a step further and poked fun at the Knicks, too. The Pistons fell to the Knicks in six games during the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, but they got their revenge in emphatic fashion. The 31-point margin marked Detroit's fourth-largest regular season victory over New York in franchise history, according to ESPN Research."
"Detroit's win pushed its record to 27-9, good enough for first place in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons emphasized their standing in the Eastern Conference with a graphic resembling the walls of New York City subways. They wrote "Bing Bong" in their postgame caption, a reference to a rally cry from a viral YouTube video after New York's season-opening win in the 2021-22 season."
Detroit defeated New York 121-90, marking the Pistons' fourth-largest regular season victory over the Knicks in franchise history. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 29 points and 13 assists. Jalen Brunson scored 25 points for New York. The win improved Detroit's record to 27-9, placing the Pistons first in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons posted a subway-themed graphic and captioned it "Bing Bong," referencing a viral Sidetalk YouTube clip from New York's 2021-22 season-opening win. Knicks fan Jordie Bloom yelled "Bing Bong" in that clip and later said the shout wasn't planned. New York has lost four straight games and scored only 90 points, its fewest since March 2024. Detroit and New York will meet again on Feb. 6.
