After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Pistons 117-102. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
