After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Knicks 96-95. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
