After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Rockets 110-81. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
