After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks held off the Suns 124-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
