After Action Report

In Portland, the Knicks rolled past the Trail Blazers 105-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
