After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Rockets 109-100. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
