After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks upended the Hawks 142-112. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
