After Action Report
The Knicks shocked the Pistons 113-102. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
