After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Pistons 103-94. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
