After Action Report

The Knicks buried the 76ers 135-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
