After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks outlasted the Bulls 113-101. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
