After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks handled the Spurs 102-90. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
