After Action Report
In Detroit, the Knicks rolled past the Pistons 127-103. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
