After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Hawks 101-99. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
