After Action Report

The Trail Blazers took care of the Knicks 121-102. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
