After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Bulls 102-87. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
