After Action Report

The Knicks squeaked past the Heat 107-106. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
