After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Hornets 105-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
