Jalen Brunson, Knicks surge past Pistons to end losing streak after NBA Finals win

Jalen Brunson scored 23 points as the New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, snapping a three-game losing streak. The victory marked the first win for the reigning champions, who had previously fallen to 0-3, making them the first defending title holder to start a season with three straight losses in 15 years.

New York entered this matchup as the team that captured the 2026 NBA championship by defeating the San Antonio Spurs, ending a 53-year title drought. The Pistons, who were undefeated heading into the contest, traveled to Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks hosted the game to end their winless run.
