In Game 2, the Pistons significantly outperformed the Knicks in rebounding, leading to a 100-94 victory. Detroit secured 12 offensive rebounds resulting in 13 second-chance points, with key performances from players like Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. Coach Tom Thibodeau acknowledged that rebounding woes were central to the loss, supported by Karl-Anthony Towns' remarks on not capturing vital possession. The absence of Pistons' Isaiah Stewart due to injury heightened the stakes for both teams, underlining Stewart's defensive significance.
The rebounding was problematic the whole night, so that's probably the whole game, said coach Tom Thibodeau, highlighting the Knicks' struggle under the boards.
We just didn't get those 50/50 basketballs, said Karl-Anthony Towns, emphasizing how the Pistons outworked them in crucial moments.
