NBA

The Knicks escaped with a 113-111 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. It was mainly because of an apparent missed call with 8.5 seconds left when New York guard Donte DiVincenzo (DEE-vin-zen-ZO) plowed into Detroit forward Ausar (uh-SARR) Tompson. The Pistons coach, Monty Williams, delivered a tirade over what he deemed a season’s worth of mistreatment from the officials. The Ref admitted the missed foul.
