Gallery: Knicks Take on Detroit on Fan Appreciation Night

Charlie Widdoes

On Fan Appreciation Night at Madison Square Garden, two fans hit shots to win thousands of dollars and all in attendance enjoyed a variety of special features, but the Pistons were too much for the Knicks to handle in a 112-90 loss.

Tim Hardaway Jr. remained hot, scoring 25 points after helping lead the Knicks to consecutive victories on the road, but Detroit had the advantage in both rebounds and points in the paint. A 3rd quarter rally brought New York to within two points, but Reggie Jackson (24 points, 11 assists) and the Pistons pulled away and cruised to victory in the 4th.

Cole Aldrich turned in another stellar performance, finishing with 24 points and 15 boards in the loss.

Hardaway tied a season high with his 25 points, but needed only 12 shots to get there. He also connected on 5-of-8 attempts from downtown.

In the Knicks' final road game of the season, they defeated the 60-win Hawks.

"It wasn't pretty, it wasn't perfect, but we got the job done," said Derek Fisher after his team pulled out an impressive 112-80 victory, its first back-to-back wins away from home all year.

Atlanta jumped out to an 11-2 lead, but on the heels of a hard-fought win Orlando, the Knicks didn't blink; by the beginning of the 1st quarter, New York had taken the lead behind 13 points and three assists from the previous game's hero, Tim Hardaway Jr.

The Knicks would lead by as many as 17 points in the 2nd quarter, thanks to an offensive onslaught that would continue the rest of the night. Quincy Acy scored eight of his 12 points in the period and New York's 62 points tied a season high for scoring output in a half.

The Hawks mounted their run in the 4th quarter, when Kyle Korver caught fire with four 3s to help them tie the game at 87. But the Knicks responded, burying three 3s of their own to stretch the lead back to nine. Fisher's squad shot 56 perfect from the field in the win, including 13-of-25 (52%) from downtown.

Langston Gallaway was simply tremendous. His career-high 26 points came on 10-of-12 shooting and against one of the league's premier point guards in Jeff Teague. Galloway made all six of his 3-point attempts and dished out six assists and pulled down five boards to complete the brilliant preformance.

Making his 40th start of the season, Galloway turned in his best effort yet. The six 3s tied both the Knicks rookie and NBA undrafted rookie record for most makes in a game.

The Knicks head home for the final game of the season -- Fan Appreciation Night at the Garden on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.
