After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Hornets 119-99. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
