After Action Report

In New York, the Pistons edged the Knicks 99-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
