After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons handled the Knicks 116-102. Pistons torched the Knicks on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
