NY Knicks v Detroit Pistons as NBA comes to London - pictures

The razzmatazz of US basketball came to London last night as the New York Knicks took on the Detroit Pistons in a regular season NBA game at the O2. A star-studded crowd, some paying up to £335 per ticket, turned out to see the Knicks beat the Pistons 102-87, despite the best efforts of the Pistons' cheerleaders.
