After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Hawks 150-119. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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. Never a doubt in this one.
