After Action Report
In Detroit, the Knicks survived the Pistons 93-91. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
