After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Pistons 112-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
