After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons squeaked past the Knicks 106-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
