After Action Report
In New York, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Knicks 153-97. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
