After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Pistons 122-117 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
