New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons. Image via: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Detroit Pistons pulled off a stunning comeback in Game 5 against the New York Knicks, defying the odds on the road at Madison Square Garden. Despite trailing 3-1 in the series, the Pistons clawed their way to a narrow 106-103 victory, forcing a decisive Game 6. With the series shifting back to Detroit, all eyes are on the injury report—especially the status of key Pistons center Isaiah Stewart . Detroit Pistons injury report for Game 6 against the New York Knicks (May 1, 2025) Game 5 was a nail-biter from start to finish. The first half saw both teams locked in a defensive battle, with the Knicks and Pistons trading blows in near-identical quarters (23-22 and 22-22). The Pistons broke through in the third quarter, building their first meaningful lead—though it stayed in single digits. A tense fourth quarter ended 29-29, but Detroit's earlier surge proved enough to seal the win. The Knicks had multiple chances to close out the series but faltered in clutch moments, much to the dismay of their home crowd. Now, the pressure shifts to Game 6 in Detroit, where the Pistons will fight to keep their season alive.

Isaiah Stewart (Center) - Status: Out for Game 6 - Details: Isaiah Stewart has missed the entire playoff series with no clear timeline for return. His absence has left a gap in Detroit's interior defense and rebounding. 2. Jaden Ivey (Point Guard) - Status: Out indefinitely - Details: Ivey remains in rehabilitation after suffering a serious lower leg injury. His playmaking and scoring are sorely missed in the backcourt. New York Knicks injuries The Knicks enter Game 6 with a clean bill of health. Their deep bench and rotational flexibility have been major advantages in the series, allowing them to manage fatigue effectively. Role players have stepped up consistently, which could prove vital as starters log heavy minutes. What to expect in Pistons vs Knicks Game 6 With Isaiah Stewart still sidelined, the Pistons will rely heavily on their remaining starters and bench contributors to match the Knicks' depth. Detroit's third-quarter execution in Game 5—a rare bright spot—will need to repeat itself. Meanwhile, the Knicks must rediscover their closing ability to avoid a winner-take-all Game 7.

Instant analysis as UNC basketball dismantles San Diego State in First Four
The North Carolina Tar Heels went to Dayton, Ohio, and took on San Diego State with an opportunity to travel to Milwaukee and face off with No. 6-seed Ole Miss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This game lasted approximately 10 minutes before UNC held a 20-point lead, finishing with a 95-68 win. When everything was said and done, they finished 30-of-57 from the field and 14-for-24 from behind the arc. Typically a team that is averaging 40% from the field and 30% from three ended with 53% from the field and 58% from three. If you can believe it, the defense might have been better than the offense. Advertisement Let's look at five quick things that were on display tonight. North Carolina couldn't miss Mar 18, 2025; Dayton, OH, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels guard Drake Powell (9) shoots the ball in the second half against the San Diego State Aztecs at UD Arena. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Tar Heels came out firing early and often, and it paid off. The team was shooting greater than 50% from behind the arc in the first half as it took a tight game to a 20+ point game after going on a 20-2 run in the middle of the first 20 minutes. It wasn't just one player either, Jae'Lyn Withers had two, Drake Powell and Elliot Cadeau both had one, Ian Jackson had three, and RJ Davis went a perfect 6-for-6. The Tar Heels defense was suffocating Mar 18, 2025; Dayton, OH, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels guard Seth Trimble (7) reacts in the second half against the San Diego State Aztecs at UD Arena. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images On top of shooting lights out, the combined defense of Seth Trimble, Davis, and Cadeau wouldn't let the combo of Nick Boyd and Miles Byrd get anything going. The return of Magoon Gwath proved irrelevant as well, with Withers, Ven-Allen Lubin, and Jalen Washington providing high-level interior defense. Advertisement The strong defense is what led to the high-flying offense. Hubert Davis didn't take his foot off the gas Mar 18, 2025; Dayton, OH, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels guard Elliot Cadeau (3) dribbles the ball in the second half against the San Diego State Aztecs at UD Arena. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Far too often this season, we have seen North Carolina taking big leads followed by allowing teams to break back down the lead and come back. For one of the first times in a big game this season, Hubert Davis brought the team to a 20+ point lead and grew it to over 40 points in the middle of the second half. They out-rebounded SDSU by 11 rebounds and finished with just five turnovers in the final 35 minutes of the game. UNC proved the nation wrong, honed in the noise Mar 18, 2025; Dayton, OH, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels guard Seth Trimble (7) signs a 'March Madness' towel in the second half against the San Diego State Aztecs at UD Arena. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images For the last 48 hours, all UNC coaches, players, and fans alike have been hearing from opposing fans and national analysts that the Tar Heels don't belong. Advertisement They even called out Bubba Cunningham being on the selection committee. However, if tonight proved anything, it made believers out of non-believers, and it silenced the skeptics. North Carolina provided a clinic on toughness and the power of honing in negative noise, allowing it to provide fuel. RJ Davis look like the former ACC Player of the Year Mar 18, 2025; Dayton, OH, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels guard RJ Davis (4) shoots the ball over San Diego State Aztecs guard BJ Davis (10) in the second half at UD Arena. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images This team isn't particularly young, but one of the major pieces missing from last year for North Carolina was the "ACC Player of the Year" caliber play from RJ Davis. There have been glimpses of the old Davis throughout the season, but this game was a complete showing of who Davis actually is and how good he can play. Advertisement Davis finished with a game-high 26 points on 8-of-12 shooting and was a perfect 6-for-6 from behind the arc.

Best Penn State basketball photos from the Michigan game
Penn State has been going through a bit of a rough stretch in Big Ten basketball action. That continued Monday evening with a road loss at Michigan when the Nittany Lions saw the offense go cold at the worst possible time, and Michigan surged across the finish line with a run to send Penn State home with a 76-72 loss. Penn State has had close calls on the road in recent games against Michigan, Michigan State, and Iowa. Penn State also lost a tough one against Oregon at home. At 13-8 and 3-7 in Big Ten play, the postseason hopes for Penn State have taken a bit of a bruising in the past couple of weeks.

Here are some of the best photos from Penn Stae's road trip to Michigan. Penn State will look to get back to some home cooking in its next game when they host Ohio State on Thursday.
