After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Pistons 114-88. Knicks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
