After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Hawks 123-119 in overtime. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
