After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Trail Blazers 127-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
