After Action Report
In Utah, the Knicks survived the Jazz 127-122. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
