Context
From the rows this page already reads
- The Knicks lost 118-80 at the Pistons, a 38-point loss.
- Previous appearance: Feb 3, 2026, 3 days earlier.
- Between the previous appearance and this game, the Knicks played on Feb 4, 2026; Hart was not in that box score; the data does not say why.
- No earlier regular-season meetings with the Pistons this season.
- The source holds fewer Knicks games than this season has, so season highs, lows and ranks count only the games it holds.
