After Action Report
The Knicks demolished the Raptors 120-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
