After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Knicks survived the Suns 117-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
