After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Knicks 138-136 in double overtime. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
