After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Pistons 108-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
