After Action Report

The Knicks snuck past the Pistons 115-113. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
