After the Pistons were eliminated by the Knicks for 6 games, the Pistons fans responded strongly, some said they were heartbroken, some praised them

Pistons fans reacted strongly to the end of Game 6 with the Knicks, which ended the team's journey after 44 wins in the regular season.

The Detroit Pistons suffered a heartbreaking defeat in their sixth game against the New York Knicks Thursday night.

With 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, the Pistons led 112-105. However, with Jaylen Brunson making a three-pointer, the Knicks made an 11-1 offensive.

With 4.1 seconds left in the game, Detroit had a chance to complete the final blow. Unfortunately, their opportunity did not come. Cade Cunningham passed the ball to Malik Beasley, but Beasley was not ready and the ball went out of bounds. The New York Knicks regained the ball, and they exhausted the rest of the time to end the series with a score of 116-113 and eliminated the Pistons from the NBA playoffs.

Pistons fans were frustrated and heartbroken by the end of Game 6. Despite this, they are still proud of the tenacious fighting spirit the team has shown throughout the series. Here are some fans' responses.

"This team is obviously better than last season and far exceeded everyone's expectations. I'm proud of these guys," said one fan.

"My heart is broken," said another fan.

"It's a heartbreaking ending. Our opponent is not just the Knicks. I'm frustrated one game after another, but after so long we've played a great season. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Hopefully we can keep moving on that basis," a fan commented.

"The Pistons fans can't stand it, but my goodness, it's been an incredible journey. From the laughing stock of the NBA last season to the playoffs, it scared the Knicks. It's the best story in the league this season, and I'm excited about the future of this team," one fan commented.

"We will be back," said a fan.

The Pistons' future direction after the playoffs' elimination

Although the season ended in a cruel way, it did not erase the success that Cad Cunningham and the Pistons had achieved throughout the year.

In the same period last year, the Pistons were in a difficult situation, winning only 14 games and suffered multiple consecutive losses throughout the season. This led to a head coach change: Monty Williams was fired, replaced by JB Bickstaff, who had coached the Cavaliers to playoffs in a row.

This move was a huge success for the Pistons. Cunningham made his first All-Star, Malik Beasley became one of the league's best outside shooters, while Osal Thompson and Jaylen Durham became two rising stars.

From 14 to 44 wins is a huge achievement for the Pistons. Despite losing to the Knicks in the series, no one can match their achievements. Detroit has been in a strong offseason, making them a team to watch this summer.
