After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Pistons 139-96. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
