After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Nets 121-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
