After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Rockets 128-101. Knicks torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it

- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
