Watch New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons 1984

The NBA was a much more shooter friendly game in 1984 compared to now. Team's played rugged defense but outside shooters simply hit more shots. That lost art of the perimeter jump shot is wonderfully on display in the New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons 1984 sports special. The 1984 first round playoff series between the Knicks and Pistons was hard fought throughout and was highlighted by this deciding game four of the series when the game became a shootout with Bernard King of New York and Isaiah Thomas of Detroit trading points back and forth. The game was so evenly matched that the final game was pushed into an overtime period in this win or go home sudden death match up.
