After Action Report

The Knicks survived the Nets 107-106 in overtime. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
