If the Detroit Pistons<\/a>‘121-90<\/a> win over the New York Knicks<\/a> on Monday wasn’t enough, the Pistons took it a step further and poked fun at the Knicks, too.<\/p>\n

The Pistons fell to the Knicks in six games during the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, but they got their revenge in emphatic fashion. The 31-point margin marked Detroit’s fourth-largest regular season victory over New York in franchise history, according to ESPN Research.<\/p>\n

Cade Cunningham<\/a> led the Pistons with 29 points and 13 assists, while Jalen Brunson<\/a> had 25 points for the Knicks.<\/p>\n

Detroit’s win pushed its record to 27-9, good enough for first place in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons emphasized their standing in the Eastern Conference with a graphic resembling the walls of New York City subways. They wrote “Bing Bong” in their postgame caption,a reference to a rally cry from a viral YouTube video after New York’s season-opening win in the 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n

After New York beat the Boston Celtics<\/a>, Knicks fan Jordie Bloom shouted the phrase in a YouTube video by Sidetalk, a one-minute street show in New York. He explained to ESPN in 2021 that yelling “Bing Bong,” wasn’t planned.<\/p>\n

“I was leaving MSG to a sea full of happy and joyful Knick fans … I felt the need to walk over to them [the Sidetalk hosts] and rip a ‘Bing Bong,'” Bloom said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bing Bong quickly went viral, with the Knicks even captioning<\/a> a post with the phrase.<\/p>\n

New York is now on a four-game losing streak — its longest over the last two seasons. The Knicks’ 90 points are their fewest in a game since March 2024.<\/p>\n

Detroit and New York will meet again on Feb. 6.br\/]<\/p>\n
