After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Knicks 139-95. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
