After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks buried the Hawks 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
