Knicks Get Another Rare Win, This Time Against The Pistons
Quote:
Isiah Thomas flashed the ear-to-ear grin that used to be a familiar sight.
The New York Knicks then kept their embattled coach in a good mood during the game.
Wilson Chandler scored all of his 19 points in the first half, helping the Knicks built a huge lead, and New York held off a late charge from the Detroit Pistons in a 98-94 win Tuesday night. The game didn't mean much for either team. With a week left in the regular season, the lottery-bound Knicks have as many wins (22) as the Eastern Conference's second-seeded team has losses.
The night was meaningful, however, for Thomas because he was part of a pregame ceremony that honored the Pistons' all-time team. "This was a great night for the Pistons franchise and for all of us," Thomas said. The Hall of Fame point guard received one of the loudest ovations in the only NBA arena where he's beloved. "It was Zeke's night, I guess," said Detroit point guard Chauncey Billups, who was also among the 30 players recognized during a 40-minute celebration.

Re: Knicks Get Another Rare Win, This Time Against The Pistons
It's real funny now how the Knicks in the last 3 games have been playing 2-Unit rotations, including rookie Chandler in both units. I guess they are finally breaking down the rotation of players or whom to trade.
This is something teams do in the beginning of the season, rather than try to get a chemistry with Curry, Zach, Q.Rich, Crawford, and Marbury/Jones for 32 mpg of the first 30 games of this season. Benching Rookie Chandler and Morris along with Nate & Balkman for the season.
