After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Trail Blazers 105-100. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
