After Action Report
In Portland, the Knicks took care of the Trail Blazers 105-89. Every possession went the Knicks way. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
