After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Pistons 108-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
