After Action Report

The Knicks survived the Jazz 115-113. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
