The Pistons lost the game -- which was the first home playoff game at the arena since 2019. But Stiller walked away impressed by the Detroit fanbase.

"Incredible energy and volume in that arena. And so quiet whenever Knicks would score. The fans in Detroit are locked in. Never heard it so loud as when they were in the lead. Knicks being able to stay ahead most of game was so important to keep the crowd noise down," Stiller posted to X.

The crowd was pretty hype at Little Caesars Arena, especially when the Pistons took the lead in the second quarter. But the Knicks continued to fend off Detroit to the end, winning Game 3.

The Pistons and Knicks will play again on Sunday, for a pivotal Game 4. Fans are going to be loud, again, you can bet on that.
