Pistons' Horrible Loss To The Knicks Had Some Must-See Moments [VIDEOS]

The Detroit Pistons lost a very strange game to the New York Knicks on Friday night, 121-115. Detroit had an 18-point lead at one point in the first half and blew a five-point led in the final minute of the game.

But that wasn't the unusual part. This game featured a little bit of everything.

In the fourth quarter when the Knicks battled back to take the lead, New York point guard Alexey Shved drove the lane and hoisted one of the absolute worst shots many have ever seen.

The right-handed hook soared high over the backboard and into about the third row -- perhaps a microcosm of 11-46 Knicks' season.

But that's not enough for this game to qualify as weird -- this happened too:

Knicks forward Lou Amundson took a shot right to the groin when the newest Piston Shawne Williams tried to save the ball from going out of bounds.

Not enough? How about this:

Even Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got in on the action when he made the play of the night with his chase-down block of Tim Hardaway Jr.

Even though the home team lost to one of the worst squads in the NBA, the 16,182 fans who made the trip to the Palace still got their money's worth.
