After Action Report

The Knicks snuck past the Pistons 113-108. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it
