After Action Report
In New York, the Pistons demolished the Knicks 128-99. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
