After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Knicks 109-106. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
