After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 129-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Never a doubt in this one.
