NBA
A late rally by the Detroit Pistons fell short, as they lost 105-102 to the New York Knicks last night. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led Detroit with 21 points. His three-pointer that would have tied the game caromed off the rim with three second remaining. Andre Drummond had 15 points and nine rebounds in limited action in his first game back since spraining his ankle Saturday night. The Pistons are now 1-6 on the road, and visit the Cleveland Cavaliers tomorrow night.

MLB
Detroit Tigers’ pitcher Justin Verlander finished a close second in voting for this year’s American League Cy Young Award. The trophy went to his former teammate, Rick Porcello, who won 22 games for the Boston Red Sox. Verlander received 14 first place votes to Porcello’s eight, but two voters did not list him at all on their ballots, and those missing votes cost him the honor. Another former Tiger, Max Scherzer, won the National League Cy Young Award.
