After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks held off the Nets 106-100. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
