Fournier and New York conquer Detroit

Three days after losing in Boston (114-107), New York returned to victory last night in the NBA. A triumph acquired at the expense of Detroit, marked with the seal of Evan Fournier, top scorer of the meeting (22 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists) ahead of his two teammates Julius Randle (21 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists) and Kemba Walker (21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists). However, the Frenchman was not the most skillful with a very modest 9/24 in the shoot. The franchise of Big Apple, 12th in the Eastern Conference, is beaten in the standings by Toronto and Atlanta who both have the same number of victories but with two fewer games. As for the Pistons, they remain at the bottom of the class with only 5 successes.
