FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Friday night’s 120-103 win over the New York Knicks at Little Caesars Arena
THREE STRAIGHT – A little bit of a scare, but the Pistons took care of business and racked up a win they had to get against a staggering opponent. They let the New York Knicks – losers of 14 straight at tipoff – erase a 21-point first-half deficit, tying the game at 80 late in the third quarter. But they had opened the lead back to 14 five minutes into the fourth quarter, aided by the Knicks going 2 of 9 at the foul line over that time.
