After Action Report

In Portland, the Knicks took care of the Trail Blazers 123-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
