The Detroit Pistons were confused on a crucial non-call and a referee decision to not review the exact timing on the clock late in Game 3 on Thursday night in a gut-punch 118-116 loss to the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA playoffs at Little Caesars Arena.

Karl-Anthony Towns led the scoring for the Knicks with 31 points, eight rebounds and two blocks while shooting 10-of-18 from the field. Jalen Brunson added 30 points, shooting 11-of-13 from the free-throw line, along with nine assists and seven rebounds. OG Anunoby added 22 points, and Mikal Bridges had 20.
