WHITE PLAINS – The Motor City Cruise (1-0) opened their regular season with a road win over the 2024 Winter Showcase champions Westchester Knicks (0-1), 138-117.



Detroit Pistons two-way forward Cole Swider led the Cruise to victory with 29 points. After struggling from shooting beyond the arc (0-6) and being held to just two points, Swider finished the night going 8-16, with one three-point field goal shy of tying his career high. Lamar Stevens and Javante McCoy each followed with 21 points to contribute Swider’s performance. Tolu Smith also secured a double-double after scoring 18 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. Motor City shot a perfect 10-10 from the free throw line and tallied 35 assists as a team.



T.J. Warren led Westchester with 17 points in 32.8 minutes of playing time. Warren shot 6-15 from the floor and grabbed eight rebounds. Chuma Okeke and Moses Brown played tremendously under the rim, with each grabbing 10 rebounds. Westchester also passed the ball well as a team, recording 29 total assists.



Tonight’s contest began with sloppy ball handling, as both teams combined with 13 turnovers in the first quarter. Motor City took a 25-22 lead to conclude the first quarter, followed by the Knicks scoring 37 points in the second to give them the lead at half (59-54). Kaiden Rice came off the bench to score 10 points in the second quarter alone.



The Motor City Cruise tested the Westchester Knicks in the third, going on two key 11-0 runs. The Cruise held Westchester to shooting just 28.6% from the floor, which gave them a double-digit lead heading into the final quarter of the game (91-81). Cole Swider dropped 17 of his 29 points in the fourth and shot 5-6 from beyond the arc to secure the win for Motor City.



The Motor City Cruise will return to the Wayne State Fieldhouse (Detroit, Mich.) to take on the Maine Celtics on Sunday, Dec. 29. Tip-off is slated for 1 p.m. ET.
