After Action Report

The Knicks took care of the Grizzlies 110-97. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
