After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks edged the Rockets 108-100. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
