After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Knicks 123-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
