After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Spurs 115-88. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
