After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Hornets 109-103. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
