After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks squeaked past the Pistons 106-101. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
