After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks took care of the Trail Blazers 112-93. Knicks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
