After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Pistons 95-91. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
