After Action Report

The Knicks survived the Pistons 103-102. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
