After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Pistons 129-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
