After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Knicks 104-96. Every possession went the Pistons way. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
