After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Bobcats 117-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
