After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Trail Blazers 107-92. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
