After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks survived the Pistons 116-112. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
