After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Knicks downed the Suns 105-91. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
