After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Pistons 107-100. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
