After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Knicks 107-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
