After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Knicks 121-99. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
