The Knicks were lucky to survive that performance from Karl-Anthony Towns. Performance might be putting it lightly. Towns struggled through a nightmarish Game 6 against the Pistons, which the Knicks won 116-113 to clinch the series.

The Knicks will face the No. 2 seed Boston Celtics, the defending NBA champions, a team with length and shooters all over the floor. Game 1 is Monday.

The New York Knicks will take on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semi-finals as they see off the Detroit Pistons.

Jalen Brunson scores 40 points and hits the game-winning 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left in Game 6 to close out the Pistons.
