After Action Report

The Knicks snuck past the Rockets 107-106. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
