After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Nuggets 117-107. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
