After Action Report

The Knicks edged the Bulls 99-93. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
