After Action Report

The Knicks took care of the Bulls 116-99. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
