After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Pistons 99-98. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
