brunson scores 32 towns adds 27 knicks beat pistons as game 4 ends with missed foul call

New York's dynamic duo put Detroit on the brink of elimination - with an assist from the officials.

Karl-Anthony Towns made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 46.6 seconds left and finished with 27 points, Jalen Brunson had 32 points and 11 assists and the Knicks beat the Pistons 94-93 on Sunday to take a 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.

Tim Hardaway Jr. shot a 3-pointer just before the buzzer and drew some contact from New York's Josh Hart that wasn't called a foul at the end of a physical game with few whistles.

David Guthrie, the crew chief for the game, said afterward that the officials made a mistake .

"After postgame review, we observed that Hart makes body contact that is more than marginal to Hardaway Jr. and a foul should have been called," Guthrie said.
