After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons snuck past the Knicks 108-107. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
