In Game 2, Cade Cunningham rebounded from a poor Game 1 performance to lead the Pistons with 33 points, significantly impacting the outcome against the Knicks. Meanwhile, OG Anunoby struggled offensively, which hindered the Knicks' defensive efforts against Cunningham. Dennis Schröder emerged as an unsung hero for the Pistons, contributing 20 crucial points, including a vital three-pointer late in the game. A significant factor in the Pistons' win was the disparity in free throws, as they capitalized on opportunities, converting 28 of 34 attempts compared to the Knicks' 16 of 19.
"Obviously, huge discrepancy in free throws. Huge. I gotta take a look at that... If [Cade] Cunningham is driving and there's marginal contact... it's really that simple."
"Dennis Schröder finished with 20 points and hit key shots down the stretch, including a 3-pointer with 55.1 seconds left in the game to give the Pistons a three-point lead."
