After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks knocked off the Raptors 120-119. Knicks' offense had its way with the Raptors. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
