After Action Report
The Knicks downed the Trail Blazers 123-107. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
