After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 128-88. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
