After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Knicks 117-113. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
