After Action Report
The Knicks demolished the Pistons 132-103. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
