After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons outlasted the Knicks 110-104. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
