The New York Knicks are one win away from the second round in the 2025 NBA playoffs. The Knicks are up 3-1 against the Detroit Pistons after their come-from-behind 94-93 victory in Sunday's Game 4. Jalen Brunson returned from an ankle injury in the fourth quarter and Karl-Anthony Towns made clutch shots to help New York to a one-point win.

Holding a 3-1 lead, the Knicks host the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series Tuesday. A win clinches the series for New York and moves it on to face the winner of the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic in the conference semifinals.

Two teams will have a chance to advance in the NBA playoffs on Thursday night against franchises playing a Game 6 on their home court in each conference.
