After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Pistons 102-85. Every possession went the Knicks way. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
