As the NBA play-offs kick off, the playoffs are in the countdown. Currently, the top seven seeds in the East and West have been determined, and the last two eighth seeds are still undecided. The three teams will start the "final life-and-death battle" in their respective divisions.

As for the New York Knicks, who had a solid performance in the regular season, they secured the third place in the Eastern Conference early on and advanced directly to the playoffs without having to go through the fierce battle of the play-in rounds.

In contrast, their first-round opponent, the sixth-seeded Detroit Pistons, had a "narrow breakout" in the late-season competition and ultimately avoided the fate of the play-in round.

As the NBA playoffs draw to a close, the league has officially announced some of the first round schedules for the playoffs. The New York Knicks will host the Detroit Pistons on April 19 for their first game of the series.

According to the official schedule, the Knicks will play two games at home first, and then the two sides will move to Detroit for the third and fourth games. It is worth noting that in order to give the players more rest and adjustment time, the league has specially arranged an extra rest day, especially between the third and fourth games, to ensure a more reasonable rhythm of the series.
