After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks held off the Pistons 101-95. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
