In Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the New York Knicks suffered a disappointing loss to the Detroit Pistons, tying the series at 1-1. Key players Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges did not step up when it mattered, with Towns failing to take a single shot in the fourth quarter, finishing with just 10 points. Bridges also struggled, scoring 19 points but going scoreless in the final quarter, missing critical three-point attempts that could have shifted the game's outcome. Their combined lack of scoring in clutch moments was a major factor in the team's defeat.
"I thought we got some great shots, some great looks," said Towns, reflecting on his lack of fourth-quarter shots, as he managed only 10 points in the game.
Bridges failed to score in the fourth quarter after a relatively strong start, including crucial missed three-pointers that dashed the Knicks' hopes of a comeback.
