After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Nuggets 121-105. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
