After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks outlasted the Pistons 101-84. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
