After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 115-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
