After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Bulls 120-95. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
