On Monday, the New York Knicks narrowly defeated the Detroit Pistons 113-111 at Madison Square Garden, but the outcome was overshadowed by a controversial no-call in the waning moments.

With the Knicks trailing 111-110, Donte DiVincenzo appeared to foul Detroit's Ausar Thompson as he attempted to secure a loose ball. However, the referees did not make a call, allowing Josh Hart to win the game for New York with a layup just 2.8 seconds before the end.

Pistons head coach Monty Williams was furious after the game, calling the no-call "the absolute worst call of the season." He accused the NBA of ignoring Detroit's complaints about previous officiating errors.

Williams' outburst was later supported by crew chief official James Williams, who admitted upon postgame review that a loose ball foul should have been called on DiVincenzo.

The Knicks, meanwhile, were unfazed by the controversy, with Hart saying, "We won. This is the NBA, man. We don't care how we win."

Jalen Brunson led New York with 35 points and 12 assists, while Hart contributed 23 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and a block. Cade Cunningham scored 32 points for Detroit.

Despite the victory, the Knicks remain in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35-23. The Pistons, on the other hand, have now lost six straight games and are tied for the worst record in the NBA at 8-49.
