After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Hawks 111-74. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
