After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Knicks 135-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
