On Feb. 18, 2026, coach Mike Brown publicly challenged the New York Knicks’ sense of pride, saying the team must raise its intensity to “turn the tide” against the rival Detroit Pistons.
Brown’s remarks, reported ahead of the next Knicks–Pistons meeting, centered on attitude and effort rather than specific tactical adjustments. He stressed that a stronger mindset would be essential if New York hopes to reverse recent fortunes in the long-running rivalry.
The date and location of the upcoming game were not immediately disclosed, but Brown’s comments set the tone for a matchup expected to test both teams’ resolve.
