On November 3, 2024, the Detroit Pistons found themselves navigating New York City’s iconic marathon-day traffic before their game against the Brooklyn Nets. With the usual streets closed and gridlocked, the team decided to take the subway to Barclays Center, hopping onto a No. 3 train to make it in time for their 3:30 PM tip-off. The impromptu subway ride turned into a memorable and amusing experience, with players sharing updates on social media.
The Pistons’ adventurous detour seemed to bring them good fortune; they went on to defeat the Nets 106-92, securing only their second win of the season.
