After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Knicks 105-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
