After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons downed the Knicks 119-109. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
