After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Knicks buried the Hawks 129-103. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
