After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Hawks 101-94. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
