The Knicks were without PG Ray Felton and PF/SF Metta World Peace as they needed all hands on deck to stop the Pitons on this night. Pistons PG Brandon Jennings left because from the Flu Bug or a "Get Shots" J.R. Tweet and never fear Pistons Combo G Rodney "Stuck" Stuckey was here.

Stuck led five Pistons into double-figures as he went for 21 points and five boards as Detroit Basketball held off the Knicks late for a 92-86 "W". It was the Pistons Front Line that did the damage in this one as J-Smoove 5, Greg Monroe, and Mr. Drummond 213 combined for 48 points, twenty-seven boards, six helpers, and three blocks.

The Knicks held it close as 'Melo Anthony had a game-high 25 points and seven helpers but also seven turnovers. The Pistons gave him fits as they rotated to him with different looks and 'Melo had trouble with it. Knicks Big Andres Bargnani had just 13 points and six boards and NYK need a Big and a PG or both as they are failing in the Paint and that means multiple L's. The Knicks shot just under 25 Money Balls  but only hit six of them. "Get Shots" J.R. had a Season-high 18 points but 2 of 9 from the Arc is not a good look.

The bad news for the Knicks (3-7) gets worse as they now get a 2nd leg of a back to back in Indy versus the well-rested Pacers on Wednesday November 20th. The Pistons (4-6) will get the Atlanta Hawks in a Home and Home Series starting in Atlanta on November 20th.
