After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the 76ers 102-101. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
