In Portland, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 129-92. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
