After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Pistons 106-93. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
