The Brooklyn Nets concluded their season with a home game against the New York Knicks, while the Knicks prepared for their playoff run against the Detroit Pistons. In a nail-biting Game 3, former Nets player Dennis Schroder led the Pistons but fell short in a 118-116 loss against New York. Schroder contributed 18 points and five rebounds off the bench as the Pistons mounted a comeback from a 14-point deficit.

This loss puts the Knicks ahead 2-1 in the series, with Game 4 set for Sunday.
