After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Hornets 100-94. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
