After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks pulled away from the Hornets 110-100. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
