After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Pistons 117-59. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
