Knicks 117, Pistons 104: Scenes from a less-than-encouraging win

If the New York Knicks are a good basketball team — and they sure as heck seem to be at the moment — they should beat up on teams like the Detroit Pistons. Detroit has one of the worst records in the NBA, and they were missing a ton of players. But Pistons head coach Dwane Casey is no fool. Instead of matching up with the Knicks’ size, he went small and encouraged his guys to shoot a ton of threes.

It nearly worked, as the Pistons kept the Knicks within reach for much of the second half.
