After Action Report
The Knicks demolished the Trail Blazers 129-106. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
