After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Nuggets 110-109. Knicks torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
