After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks buried the Pistons 144-120. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
