After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Knicks snuck past the Nets 128-126 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
