After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Bulls 138-97. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
