After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Suns 110-87. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
