After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Raptors 122-120. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
