After Action Report
In Detroit, the Knicks snuck past the Pistons 106-105. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
