After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Pistons 109-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
