Does it get any better than playoff basketball at "the Mecca of Basketball"?On Saturday night, the No. 3 seed Knicks embark on what they hope will be a lengthy playoff run, hosting the Pistons for Game 1 of their first-round series at a rocking Madison Square Garden.

Detroit enters the series as a top-six seed for the first time since 2008 and will be aiming to snap a postseason drought that dates back to that same year. The Pistons’ most recent playoff appearance came in 2019 under then-head coach Dwane Casey, when they were swept in the first round by the Milwaukee Bucks.
