After Action Report
The Knicks demolished the Hawks 117-82. Knicks' offense had its way with the Hawks. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
