After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks squeaked past the Pistons 112-111. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
