After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks downed the Bulls 110-98. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
