After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Pistons 120-97. Knicks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
