After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Pistons 125-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
