Pistons to face Knicks in international game (update: in London)
By Dan Feldman
The Pistons’ 2012-13 schedule includes a Jan. 17 international game against the Knicks. Both teams have at least three days off before and after the game, so that leaves enough time to get practically anywhere in the world. Where would you like to see the Pistons play?
On the downside, it counts as a Detroit home game, so The Palace will host just 40 games this season.
Update: in London
Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News:
"Lin and the Rockets will visit the Knicks on Dec. 17 and a month later, the Knicks will take on the Pistons in London."
MVP Ultimate Basketball (a British site):
"The New York Knicks are set to play the Detroit Pistons in London in a regular season game at The 02 Arena, league sources have told MVP."
