After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Pistons 112-110. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
