After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Pistons 130-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
