After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Pistons 124-102. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
