After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Knicks buried the Hawks 130-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
