After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Hawks 130-96. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.

- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
