After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Hawks 103-98. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
