After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks downed the Pistons 119-107 in overtime. Knicks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
