After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Timberwolves 100-97. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
