After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Nuggets 105-84. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
