After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Pistons 95-93. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
