After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Suns 123-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
