After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Knicks 101-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
