After Action Report
The Knicks held off the SuperSonics 98-91. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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. Style points be damned.
