After Action Report
The Knicks downed the Hawks 97-78. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
